You could achieve this by using a template extension util.

An example of a util for substituting strings with links using regexs 
can be found in the roundup issue tracker template:
 
http://roundup.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/roundup/roundup/file/a099ff2ceff3/website/issues/extensions/local_replace.py

(note that function is registered as 'localReplace')

You can then use this util by wrapping the msg content in the 
utils.localReplace() function:
 
http://roundup.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/roundup/roundup/file/a099ff2ceff3/website/issues/html/issue.item.html#l250

There is a bit of doco about the utils variable, but the examples above 
are probably more useful:

Cheers,
John.
