The way that I do it - involves using a nice generalized proctable
function which I have bound to ^X^F (some use ^X^|) in my .atkinit file:

----------------
addkey filter-filter-region ^X^F textview filter
----------------

Then what I do is select the text of the message that I wish to put into
a file (sometimes the whole message, headers and all) - invoke the above
function, which prompts for a 'Command:' in the message-line of the
window and I fill it in with something like:
	Command: cat > /tmp/foo
and hit <enter>.  It takes a few seconds but then it finally says 'done'
- and the file then exists - completely sans ATK formatting.
