If you are already able to read the E-mail via POP3, and the body 
consists of a single text/html part, then this just becomes a question 
about parsing HTML. Hpricot is usually cited as the best library for 
doing that. I'd say it's not worth digging about with regexps when you 
can do the job properly.

If your E-mail is a multipart/alternative then you may need a bit more 
work to extract the text/html part first. The rubymail library may help 
here.
