Sapna,

To find id of that link you have to know some other attribute of that link.
I will assume that you know text "RE: Check Copy Request"

This is how you can get href attribute of that link.

irb> ie.link(:text, "RE: Check Copy Request").href
=>
"file:///C:/AppsUIWeb/SelfService/MessageDetail.aspx?id=1303&messageToUser=True"

This will extract 1303.

irb> m = /id=(1303)/.match(ie.link(:text, "RE: Check Copy Request").href)
=> #<MatchData:0x2d147b8>

irb> m[1]
=> "1303"

For more information see class MatchData (
