Use Net::POP3 or Mail::POP3Client to retrieve the message, then use MIME::Parser to parse the individual message body parts. The body parts can be accessed and modified in memory or to disk. Once you have the parts you can edit the HTML however you like and put it all back together using MIME::Entity probably. Keeping track of how it was put together in the first place will probably be the toughest part although you could probably just retrieve the original message and write it as another body part to the reply.
