What is considered the "full text" in an email or document?

The “full text” of a file is the actual text contained within the document. In most cases, the full text of a document is what would be captured if one performed a full “copy and paste” of everything in a document all at once. Full text will not include graphics such as pictures, charts, or other non-text formats contained in the file. The “full text” of an email is the same as the “full text” of a word processing document/spreadsheet/PDF/presentation/etc. Technically speaking, the “text” of an email is only the actual message itself. The information contained in the message header of the email (author, sent to, subject, sent date and time, cc) are actually separate fields of metadata.
