# Retrieve Thread Email

> Retrieve a single message from a thread.

Returns one message of a thread. Each item from [List Thread
Emails](/docs/api-reference/inboxes/list-thread-emails) has this shape.

## Path Parameters

The Inbox ID or the inbox email address, such as `support@example.com`.

The Thread ID.

The Email ID, as returned by [List Thread
Emails](/docs/api-reference/inboxes/list-thread-emails) in `data[].id`.

## Response Fields

**id** `string`

The ID of the message.

**direction** `string`

Whether the message was received by the inbox or sent from it. One of
`inbound` or `outbound`. A message the inbox sent to itself is `inbound`, so a
reply to it goes to its sender.

**from** `string`

Sender email address. Includes the display name when the sender has one, in
the format `Name <sender@domain.com>`.

**to** `string[]`

The recipients of the message. For a received message, these are the addresses
it was delivered to, not the full `To` header.

**cc** `string[]`

The CC recipients of the message.

**bcc** `string[]`

The BCC recipients of the message. Always empty for a received message.

**reply\_to** `string[]`

The Reply-To addresses.

**subject** `string | null`

The subject of the message.

**message\_id** `string | null`

The Message-ID header of the message.

**html** `string | null`

The HTML body.

**text** `string | null`

The plain-text body.

**attachments** `array`

The attachments on the message.

**properties**

**id** `string`

The ID of the attachment.

**filename** `string | null`

The filename of the attachment.

**size** `number | null`

The size of the attachment in bytes.

**read** `boolean`

Whether the message has been read.

**received\_at** `string`

ISO 8601 timestamp when the inbox received the message, or when the inbox sent
it.
