You can register a pattern with the BB OS, and have your application as an option when a match is found. Use the PatternRepository to register either an exact match or a regular expression, and pass an ApplicationDescriptor. Like with URL's the matched string will be highlighted when the user scroll on it, and your application will be one of the optional menu items.

PatternRepository.addPattern(ApplicationDescriptor.currentApplicationDescriptor(), myPattern, PatternRepository.PATTERN_TYPE_EXACT_MATCH, menuItemArray);

Note: There's a problem with HTML formatted emails and the pattern may not be matched, only in plain text. RIM are aware of this problem and it should be fixed in the next release (one after 5.0)
