How can I?
If you do provide an answer - could you explain how it works? My grab
of regex is very weak.
Then strengthen it.

HTML, particularly ugly HTML, is notoriously hard to parse with regexes.
Try an HTML parsing module instead.
Yeah, that's the standard answer, but in this case it looks like we are
dealing with an HTML part of a MIME message with an appended ad,
probably with varying content inside the <p></p> pair. If that's the
case, it's probably not a disaster if it would fail occasionally, and a
simple substitution may be sufficient:
s,(.+)<p.+</p>,$1,is
