Yeah, it's probably just better to have various scripts that extract a
value in context, rather than trying to create a general system for
extracting values.

But extracting from email is particularly attractive because the email
is already coming in, so there's no remote configuration necessary.
Plus, the systems sending the reports are in many flavors of OS, some
of which I have no direct control over (such as firewall appliances).
