I've already done this kind of work for extracting businness data from
various formats of emails. I've used CodeWorker, a parsing tool and a
source code generator, a free software available at
"http://www.codeworker.org".
It can describe the grammar of these emails very easily, to generate a
CSV file with all records for instance.
If you are interested, I can post here a CodeWorker script sample here,
which handles these 4 emails.

P.S. : you can't completely ignore their format: it must necessary be
one amongst several possibilities.
