What research have you already done for yourself? Have you read the documentation? Looked on Google?

Not specifically: if you are receiving HTML emails - and they don't have to be HTML - then the body of the email is the HTML text. Encapsulated within that HTML may be the text you are looking for, but where in the HTML will depend on the sender: it doesn't have to be just text, it can be anything valid in HTML - tables, images, text...

You could load the email into a WebBrowser control, and extract the text portion from that? Not a nice solution, but I think a console email system is a bit 1990's anyway...
