Swish-e

I'd like to glean metadata from the documents I'm indexing.  The
documents have a predictable format:

...
 <BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff">
   <H1>[list-name] title of message</H1>
    <B>name of message author</B>
    <A HREF="..."
       TITLE="...">username at email.host
       </A><BR>
...

I'd like to be able to search these documents with "swish-e -w
authorname=foo" or "swish-e -w authoremail=bar".

At what point during the process of indexing would it be possible to
manipulate things so that I can do this?  Can I, for example, add a
directive somewhere saying:

@metanames{qw( msgtitle authorname )}
  =~ /<H1>[list-name] (.*)</H1>\w+<B>(.*)</B>/g;

or something like that?

Ben
