The TextBody and HtmlBody properties follow a heuristic approach that is based on common MIME structures used by the most widely used mail client apps.

The problem with MIME is that there is no guaranteed way to always locate the 1 part that is the text body (or the html body) of a message. It's also very subjective.

I'll take a look at it, but I'll need an example message that illustrates the issue.

Here is what I get when I call MimeMessage.Body
I am calling this on an email from outlook/owa
Is there a correct way for calling TextBody on an email from outlook/owa?

That's an html body. Where is the text body? :-)

(hint: there is no text body)
