That depends on your mail reader.  I use Seamonkey and it can do that.  
I would think that Thunderbird can as well.  In Seamonkey go to Tools, 
then select Message Filters.  Then click to create a new filter.  Type 
in a filter name or it will puke later, I usually forget that.  In the 
middle section, it usually defaults to Subject here, you need to change 
that to Body.  In the field to the right of that, fill in whatever you 
want it to detect, udev, USB or whatever text you want to select.  In 
the bottom section, defaults to Move Message to here, change that to Tag 
Message then select on the right what you want it tagged as.  If you use 
Seamonnkey, check out all the other options as well.  If you use 
Thunderbird, I would think it would do the same but things may be in 
different places.  Maybe the instructions will give ideas where to look.

I'm not sure that is exactly what you want but that is what I know can 
be done here.  Again, depends on if we are talking about the same thing 
and what reader you use as well.

Hope that helps.
