Sounds like you need a rule in Mail.app to run an applescript. It's

Years ago, I wrote a script to invoke the say command when certain
emails were received. If you're interested in it I can post it.
Yes, but I have no idea how to tell Mail.app:
Take first line of email body and pipe it to Yojimbo, instructing it
to make it a web archive.
So this is really a how do I script Apple Mail question? ;-)
Here's a quick script which should either do what you want, or serve
as a good starting point for additional hacking. It works off of the
selected messages in the front message viewer (browser) in Mail.

set zName to subject of zMsg
set zURL to my trim_url(content of zMsg)

if looks_like_url(zURL) then
tell application Yojimbo
make new web archive item with properties {name:zName} with
contents zURL

display alert Message body does not look like url.

exit repeat

return text zStartIndex through zEndIndex of zURL
end trim_url

set zProtocols to {http://;, https://;, mailto:}

if zURL starts with zProto then
