Fetch raw e-mail text with EWS (headers, body and encoded attachments) - exchangewebservices

Question

Is there a way to fetch the raw email text using EWS?
I would like to get the whole text including headers, body, and encoded attachments.
Is this possible?

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but it should help.
It downloads the entire message file, including encoded attachments, header, subject, sender, receiver, etc...
try this:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP1);
service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("USR", "PWD", "Domain");
service.AutodiscoverUrl("someone#example.com");
FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(int.MaxValue));
Console.WriteLine("Found : " + findResults.TotalCount + " messages");
foreach (EmailMessage message in findResults.Items)
{
try
{
message.Load(new PropertySet(ItemSchema.MimeContent));
MimeContent mc = message.MimeContent;
// I use this format to rename messages files, you can do whatever you want
string n = string.Format("-{0:yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss-ffff}.eml", DateTime.Now);
string path = #"C:\folder\message" + n;
FileStream fs = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create);
fs.Write(mc.Content, 0, mc.Content.Length);
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
//message.Delete(DeleteMode.HardDelete); // It deletes the messages permanently
//message.Delete(DeleteMode.MoveToDeletedItems); // It moves the processed messages to "Deleted Items" folder
}
catch (Exception exp)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error : " + exp);
}
}
}
catch (Exception exp2)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error : " + exp2);
}
}
Hope it helps, cheers.
