Question sed command applicable?

Find the messages with BLUE header, collect the telno, and dump to a file.

file below:

header 1 BLUE 11/20/01
body telno 555
body room1
trailer 1 xxx

header 2 BLUE 11/20/01
body telno 444
body room2
trailer 2 xxx

header 3 RED 11/20/01
body telno 666
body room3
trailer 3 xxx

header 4 BLUE 11/20/01
body telno 333
body room4
trailer 4 xxx

header 5 YELLOW 11/20/01
body telno 222
body room5
trailer 5 xxx

The objective is to collect all the telephone numbers (telno) within the messages with BLUE header. Is there a way using sed to filter the output utilizing the header (BLUE) parameter?

Output file:

telno 555
telno 444
telno 333

This is work-related, not a homework. Thanks.

smfi_replacebody(3N)													      smfi_replacebody(3N)

NAME
smfi_replacebody() - replaces the data in the sendmail message body SYNOPSIS
PARAMETERS
ctx Specifies the opaque context structure. bodyp Specifies a pointer to the start of the new body data, which does not have to be null-terminated. If bodyp is set to NULL, the length of the body is considered to be 0 (zero). The body data must be in CR or LF form. bodylen Specifies the number of data bytes pointed by bodyp. DESCRIPTION
replaces the body of the current message. can be called only from the routine and can be called more than once. When is called more than once, the subsequent calls append data to the new body of the message. Notes o As the message body may be very large, setting may significantly affect filter performance. o If a filter sets but does not call the original body remains unchanged. o The filter order is important for the routine. Filters placed later in the sequence will observe the changes RETURN VALUE
fails and returns due to the following reasons: o The value of bodyp is equal to NULL and the value of bodylen is greater than 0. o Changing the body in the current connection state is invalid. o Network error occurs. o The is not set when the function is called. AUTHOR
