feat: Add Gmail thread support and fix message ID vs thread ID confusion

- Add get_gmail_thread_content() function to retrieve complete conversation threads
- Enhance search_gmail_messages() to display both Message ID and Thread ID clearly
- Add helper function _extract_message_body() for consistent message parsing
- Fix 404 errors caused by using message IDs with thread functions
- Include usage guidance to prevent confusion between message and thread operations
- Add comprehensive documentation for both features

Resolves issue where users couldn't distinguish between message IDs and thread IDs,
leading to API errors when trying to retrieve thread content.

# Gmail Message ID vs Thread ID Fix
## ✅ Implementation Complete
Successfully enhanced the `search_gmail_messages` function to clearly distinguish between Message IDs and Thread IDs, eliminating the confusion that caused 404 errors when users tried to use message IDs with thread functions.
## 🔧 Changes Made
### Enhanced `search_gmail_messages` Output
**Before:**
```
Found 3 messages:
- ID: 196fd200c3c45ccb
- ID: 196fd201c3c45ccd
- ID: 196fd202c3c45cce
```
**After:**
```
Found 3 messages:
Note: Use Message ID with get_gmail_message_content, Thread ID with get_gmail_thread_content
1. Message ID: 196fd200c3c45ccb
Thread ID: 196fd1b6256512d0
2. Message ID: 196fd201c3c45ccd
Thread ID: 196fd1b6256512d0
3. Message ID: 196fd202c3c45cce
Thread ID: 196fd1b6256512d0
```
### Code Changes
1. **Enhanced Output Formatting** (lines 156-175)
- Added clear usage guidance note
- Display both Message ID and Thread ID for each message
- Numbered list format for better readability
- Proper spacing and alignment
2. **Updated Function Documentation** (lines 80-93)
- Updated docstring to reflect new functionality
- Clarified that both Message IDs and Thread IDs are returned
- Added usage guidance in the return description
## 🎯 Problem Solved
### Root Cause
- Gmail API `users.messages.list` returns both `id` (message ID) and `threadId` (thread ID)
- Previous implementation only showed message IDs
- Users tried to use message IDs with `get_gmail_thread_content` (which needs thread IDs)
- This caused 404 errors because message IDs ≠ thread IDs
### Solution Benefits
-**Eliminates confusion** - Clear labeling of Message ID vs Thread ID
-**Prevents 404 errors** - Users know which ID to use with which function
-**Educational** - Helps users understand Gmail's message/thread relationship
-**Flexible** - Users can choose message-level or thread-level operations
-**Backward compatible** - Doesn't break existing functionality
-**Follows codebase style** - Maintains consistent formatting and patterns
## 📋 Usage Guide
### For Individual Messages
```
get_gmail_message_content(message_id="196fd200c3c45ccb")
```
### For Complete Conversation Threads
```
get_gmail_thread_content(thread_id="196fd1b6256512d0")
```
### Understanding the Relationship
- **Multiple messages** can belong to the **same thread** (conversation)
- **Message ID** = Individual email message
- **Thread ID** = Entire conversation (multiple messages)
## 🔍 Technical Details
### Gmail API Response Structure
The `users.messages.list` API already returns both fields:
```json
{
"messages": [
{
"id": "196fd200c3c45ccb", // Message ID
"threadId": "196fd1b6256512d0" // Thread ID
}
]
}
```
### Implementation Approach
- Extract both `msg['id']` and `msg['threadId']` from API response
- Format output with clear labeling and usage guidance
- Maintain existing authentication and error handling patterns
- Follow codebase style conventions
## ✅ Testing
- Code compiles without syntax errors
- Function signature and parameters unchanged (backward compatible)
- Enhanced output provides clear guidance for users
- Follows existing codebase patterns and style
The implementation successfully resolves the message ID vs thread ID confusion while maintaining the existing codebase style and functionality.
