How to Get MIME content of an Outlook message excluding attachments

Question

We have a business requirement to store Outlook message as .eml for future references from code base but without attachments.

We found below GRAPH API GET method to retrieve Outlook message's MIME content but can't find option to filter out attachments(to exclude/skip attachments by which .eml file size reduced drastically.)

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/4aade2547798441eab5188a7a2436bc1/$value

Please share option or workaround to exclude attachments under GET Method(GET /users/{id}/messages/{id}/$value)

It would be really appreciable if someone from MS team could officially clarify on above business case

Answer 1

After many tests, I can come to the conclusion: currently does not support filtering attachments. So I suggest you submit a feature request for filtering attachments, and I will vote for you.
