How do I get the email body given an Amazon SES Message ID?

Question

I sent a few emails using Amazon SES and I have their Message IDs (as generated by Amazon SES).

Given these Message IDs, I would like to query the Amazon SES API and get the details of the email I sent (i.e., email body, subject, from, to).

How do I go about doing so?

If it helps, I am using the boto3 library for Python.

Thanks

Amazon SES does not store this data, at least not in any way accessible to users (I'd imagine they have an internal audit trail for spam/abuse cases, but it's not exposed in the API).

You'll need to store the data yourself, or use a different third-party sender.
