I'm trying to read the content of an email in HTML. My problem though, is that my body is not very unique though I'm loading the EmailMessageSchema.UniqueBody.
Here's my expected solution:
var props = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly,
EmailMessageSchema.UniqueBody,
EmailMessageSchema.Subject,
EmailMessageSchema.To,
EmailMessageSchema.From
/*Futher properties if needed*/);
props.RequestedBodyType = BodyType.HTML;
var message = EmailMessage.Bind(subscription.Service, item.ItemId, props);
// Should be unique
var uniqueBody = message.UniqueBody.Text;
When debugging and investigate my uniqueBody variable, I can clearly see that this is not unique. It takes the entire body of the email prior to the current email (as the current email is a response, i wouldn't expect to get the content of the email responded to).
I'm not sure I understand the concept of the EmailMessageSchema.UniqueBody property, or perhaps I'm simply doing something wrong?
So, how do I get the unique body of a reply email, without it's parents body?

As defined in the documentation (link here), UniqueBody is:
the body part that is unique to the conversation that this item is part of
The main part of this sentence is the idea of conversation: it is a notion from your mailbox, not from the message. As a consequence, the field UniqueBody will give you only the newest part of a message after an initial one.
For the 1st message, even if it includes several messages (due to a forward or reply), UniqueBody will contain everything.
I used my external address "mailA" to forward a message from "mailB" to "mailEWS" which will be the address where I query emails with EWS. I added a comment on this forward, named "Forwarded email sample".
Here is what I got when getting the message in "mailEWS":
<html>
<body>
<div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span dir="ltr">
Forwarded email sample
<div>
<br>
<div>
Test from MailB <<a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">[email protected]</a>>:<br>
<div style="margin:0 0 0 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left:1px solid #CCCCCC;">Dear user,<br>
<br>
Content of initial email from mailB<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Test<br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see I got the original message and the comment on the forward.
Then:
So I got a new message in my mailEWS mailbox, when getting the UniqueBody with EWS:
<html>
<body>
<div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr"><span dir="ltr">Reply from external address</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see, I get only the newest part of the message in the conversation, not all the previous replies (but those items are in Body field)
