Web based email parser?

Free web based email parser/regex based filter?
Are there any web based services which will take an inbound email and reformat it based on a known pattern in the source?
I use applications like tarpipe to take inbound emails to generate REST interactions for APIs, unfortunately that requires some known structure for the incoming email. Is there a service which will take an email, apply a filter and pass on the reformatted email to a destination (also determine by the filter)?
Example application: Take an email received every day to let me know about an future appointment, reformat it into a simple pattern that tarpipe can then insert into a REST application to include in my calendar.

It's fairly easy with any scripting language to read mail and parse text.
Also, some e-mail clients will allow you to set rules/filters and then run external scripts on those matching messages.

(a little searching for "email to RSS" turns up many services, I can't personally vouch for any of them)
