Automating finding an email from a contact

Hi,

I have just started automating my Mac using automator (how good is it). And I have now begun some email automations, because I regularly send the same email to a number of staff and other contacts. It is currently triggered by a calendar event and then runs mail and a pre-formulated email, I think that works fine.

However, I am wondering if anyone knows a way to get automator to find an email from a particular contact, so then I can open the most recent email from that contact as a reference for the email I am sending in case I need to add more personalised content to it.

Many thanks

John
