My anatomy teacher allows students to go with him on coroner's cases occasionally, and the way he picks is by sending an email to everyone, and the first 5 that respond get picked. I'm trying to develop a way for my phone to ring an alarm whenever I get an email from my instructor that includes the string "CORONER" in any form. Does anyone know how I could do this with either an iPad, iPod Touch, or an Android phone?

Overly complicating things. Just set your phone to ring when you receive new emails.

I want to set it up so it rings with a loud alarm and wakes me up when I receive the email, and I don't want it to alert me for any other emails. He does his coroner cases usually around 3-4 in the morning.
 
Couldn't you set up the instructor as a VIP contact in Mail (and then have a custom tone for VIPs) that is loud/annoying enough to wake you?
