Subject:How to extract the source of a GDS cached email?

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anybody can shed some light on how to extract the source of emails cached by GDS.

When browsing the GDS cache, I've noticed that emails have "[Reply] | [Reply to all] | [Forward] | [View in Thunderbird]" links at the top of the page. Clicking any of these will open Thunderbird (my mail client) with the full message. The source of this email exported from the GDS cache has all the headers of the original email.

So my question is: is there a way I can get GDS to return the full message source *without* exporting the file to my mail client?

Can I simply pass an arguement to GDS and have it spit back the message source in the browser itself as plain text?

FYI, the URL to view an email from within GDS is like: http://127.0.0.1:4664/cache?event_id=281350&schema_id=1&s=P6AZq5Bnw4i811oy3ftMCkzkT2k

Cheers,

Jo
