Assuming you have a Linux based mailserver:
I'd suggest that you knock up a quick'n'dirty CGI for your webserver.
Depending on the type of data you want it could be a simple grep, but a more
advanced double pass of the file would give you much more data.

If Assumption == FALSE
Umm knock one up in perl?   I don't know of anything off the shelf to do it.
