# Message

`GET /api/v1/tests/{slug}/message`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://email-spam-tester.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://email-spam-tester.com/api/v1/tests/{slug}/message`
- Auth: none declared

The message itself: headers, both bodies, and the source verbatim.

Separate from the report rather than a field on it, because the report is
polled every two seconds while the analysis runs and a megabyte of source
on every poll would be paid for by every user to serve the few who open the
panel. This is fetched once, when they do.
