Retrieve Message body from an appoitment by SOAP

Question

Hello,
I am trying to retrieve all the appointment from a specific user by GWSOAP. I use the getItemsRequest method. I specify as container the Appointment folder.
I retrieve all the appointment. But I cannot retrieve the message body from the appointment. Anybody can help me and explain me how I can retrieve it ?
Thanks,
Sebastien

By default, only the data from the user item in the
user's database is returned. The user item is linked
to a common item (that all users share). That common
item has links to the attachments of the item (which
the message body is one).
In the view, you have to explicitly ask for attachments
/ message body. A common view is:
"default attachments message peek"
default - Get all of the fields of the user's item.
attachments - Return the information about the attachments.
Note: You then have to read the attachment
data separately.
message - Return the message body.
Note: If the message body is greater than 64KB,
you will only get the id of the message body.
You will need to read the message body the
same way you read the other attachments.
peek - Return the message body, but don't mark the item as
read.
Note: If you are reading more that about 20 items, you should
use the cursor calls instead of getItemsRequest.
There is more information in the documentation.
