Hello @Anonymous 

 

access the html-body of your mail with this reference [Body][HtmlBody]

This give you the html-code of your mail. Use Html.Table to read the html-code.

This code for example gives you all table-cells

 

 Html.Table(HtmlBody,{{"AllCells", "td"}})

 

this all rows

 

 Html.Table(HtmlBody,{{"AllRows", "tr"}})
