If this just for the message body of an email, or is it to display headers to? If it is just for 
message body then why not

message_body/message_body!

or

body/body!

It isn't as short as summarize but it may more accurate to how the body of an email message is 
referred to.

If it includes the subject line to, then I think Kev's suggestion of summarize/summarize! makes sense.
