If for some reason you can’t use the Read text activity, you also have the alternative to use the OCR tool. The difference is that it uses images and has a limit of usage (like say 1000 a month).

There is also another way to try and make it work, but it’s complicated. You can make a right click in the body of the message and select “Show source code”. The source code will be shown in a Notepad window. Then you use Get element value to save the text in a variable. The content of the message will be stored in that variable and you’ll be able to manipulate it. Just remember the source code is in HTML, so it might be necessary to ‘clean’ the content depending on what you have to do with the data.
