MIME is an industry email standard. Many email applications create messages in MIME format and save them in files with the .EML extension.
Even though Outlook does not save messages in MIME format, there are two ways you can get an Outlook message body in MIME format:
- You can append a
$value
segment to a get-message operation on that message. - If the message is attached to an Outlook item or group post, you can append a
$value
segment to a get-attachment operation on that item or group post.
In either case, your app must have the appropriate permissions to access the Outlook item or group post in order to apply the get-message or get-attachment operation.
