GMAIL API : How to get the reply without the original message

Question

i'm using google api for gmail. All is working fine, i was able to connect, list and get message / thread, browse every elements of a thread etc...

I want to be able to retrieve a reply without the original message, is it somehow doable ?

I think that every email software will put together a different constructed reply message with the original message included but maybe there's a way to retrieve only the reply.

Thanks for any hint that will allow me to do such thing.

Answer 1

It appears the consensus is that this is not possible, and that the message/thread must be parsed manually with your program.
