The regexp for that would be:
  msg[0-9]*\.html
or, if you know there will be 4 digits:
  msg[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\.html

[0-9]*   means zero or more occurences of the digits 0-9
\.       means match a full-stop (as a . on it's own is the
         wildcard to match any single character)

You could get even more specific and specify anchors for
the name so that 'msg' must follow a '/' - and that
the .html must be at the end:
  /msg[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\.html$
