email_get_message

Returns one message in full: participants, subject, timestamps, folders and labels, flags, attachment list, and optionally the body and raw headers. Use it after email_search_messages has narrowed to the message you actually want to read, rather than searching with include_body on. The account_id must be the account that message belongs to — the one on the search result, not a different mailbox. Attachment content is not included; the attachments array carries ids to pass to email_get_attachment.
