  <p>FYI, i am using 1.1 version of Office.js and here is my code snippet to read body content.</p>
  
  <pre><code>function getBody() {
      Office.cast.item.toMessageCompose(Office.context.mailbox.item).body.getAsync(function (result) {
          app.showNotification('The current body is', result.value)
      });
  
      //Office.context.mailbox.item.body.getAsync(Office.MailboxEnums.BodyType.Html, function (result) {
      //    app.showNotification('The current body is', result.value)
      //})
  }
  </code></pre>
