Gets the source of the message as a byte array.

Return Value

A byte array representing the MIME source of the message.

Remarks

To get only a header section of the message, use RawHeader property. To save the message to disk or into a stream, use SaveMessage method.

Example

This sample saves the MIME source of the message into .EML file for demonstration purposes only. Real-world applications should use SaveMessage method for this.
