Thanks for suggestions.
I will try to satisfy you in the next release.:)

In the mean time, you can use this for fetching each message content:

g.messages(:standard=>'all').each {|m|
    puts "ID: #{m['id']} Subject: #{m['subject']} / Snippet: 
#{m['snippet']}"
    g.fetch(:conversation=>m['id']).conv.each {|c|
     puts "From: #{c['sender']} #{c['sender_email']}"
     puts "Subject: #{c['subject']}"
     puts "Full Message Body: #{c['body']}"
     }
}
