Email `.body` empty but not empty when I first open the mail? - vba

Question

I'm trying to do write a VBA script that takes the body of an incoming email and sends it on to another person.
If I don't open the email the .body is empty and the email that is then sent is empty as well.
However when I open the email and then manually execute the script, it works and then .body isn't empty.
Here is the code I'm using:
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' default local Inbox
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Test").Items
End Sub
Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal item As Object)
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = item

You can try using the .display message and then close .olDiscard immediately.
