Message body returns html without angle brackets <>
Message body returns html without angle brackets <>
Hi team, I tried get message content from the my mail box, code is very simple
for message in account.inbox.all():
print(message.body)
But I sometimes get a html content without the brackets.
When I check the mailbox, I find the content body is displaying correctly just like a working html page. Is there something wrong with the way to retrieve the body as html?

Expected behavior I want to see a html text with the angle brackets <> so that I can parse the email
Thanks very much
This looks like either a bug in Exchange, or a malformed email message that Outlook / OWA is able to render properly anyway.
If you enable debug logging you should be able to see if the email body is returned by the EWS API with or without brackets.
