Mails can contain lots of stuff, so there is in general no suitable
human readable string representation of a whole email. You have to go
through it part by part and decide what you want to do with each. For
example, if you have a multipart/alternative with a text/plain and a
text/html part what should the "string representation" be? For some uses
the text/plain part might be sufficient. For some you might want the
HTML part or some rendering of it. Or what would you do with an image?
Omit it completely? Just use the filename (if any)? Try to convert it to
ASCII-Art? Use an AI to describe it?
