assuming that you have managed to pop your body into one string, what
about the following

   ary = mail.scan( %r{<tr>(.*?)</tr>} ).
   map{ |ttext| ttext.scan( %r{<td>(.*?)</td>} )[0..1] }

And if you want to have a hash

   Hash[ *ary.flatten ]

and if Text2 happens to be the key

   Hash[ *ary.map{|x| x.reverse}.flatten ]

It would be a nice exercise for you to optimize the solution for that
last case ;)
