Yes. I have had this very use case solved by writing a custom mailet that does an HTTP call to the final website after having parsed the message. When interacting with a website I prefer to do this "mail to web" translation instead of embedding james in the application server and use simple java calls. At the most extreme you could write a simple mailet that POST the whole mimemessage AS-IS to a given use and leave all of the logic on the web side: this is up to you.
