Get a received email's raw content

GET
/v1/email/inbound-messages/{inbound_message_id}/raw
curl -X GET "https://us1.platform.bird.com/v1/email/inbound-messages/{inbound_message_id}/raw" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
Returns the original message exactly as received, in RFC 5322 (MIME) format, as a message/rfc822 download. Use it when you need the exact bytes: full headers, signatures, or your own MIME parsing. For parsed fields use Get a received email and Get a received email's body. Returns 404 when the message is unknown or its stored content has expired (received emails are retained for 30 days).
