Hmmm, it seems we can only retrieve the "original page".
We will look into this.

@Waseem it seems that the only constant that results in a page is
U_ORIGINAL_MESSAGE_VIEW

I've changed this in libgmail (CVS):
def getRawMessage(self, msgId):
        """
        """
        # U_ORIGINAL_MESSAGE_VIEW seems the only one that returns a page.
        # All the other U_* results in a 404 exception
        PageView =3D U_ORIGINAL_MESSAGE_VIEW =20
        return self._retrievePage(
            _buildURL(view=3DPageView, th=3DmsgId))

I think we try to get other views too.
