3. Call the CImEmailMessage::GetBodyTextL() function to get the body text of the message in the CRichText class.

4. If you want to retain rich text formatting, complete the following step 1. If you want to use plain text formatting, complete the following steps from 2 to 4.

   1. Call the CImEmailMessage::StoreBodyTextL() function with the edited CRichText class to store the body text.

   2. Call the CImEmailMessage::OpenPlainBodyTextForWriteL() function to get CImPlainBodyText.

   3. Call the CImPlainBodyText::StoreRichTextAsPlainTexL() function and pass the edited CRichText class to store the message.

   4. Call the CImPlainBodyText::CommitL() function to complete the editing operation.
