A little-known fact is that you get different behaviour depending on 
the technique you use:

Method 1:

   Click on the message you want to save in the list view.
   Click on the message area itself
   Press Cmd-a (select all)
   Press CMD-c, etc., as Tim said.

   This will get you a copy of the text as its displayed.

Method 2:
  
   Click on the message you want to save in the list view.
   Do NOT click in the text area.
   Press CMD-c, etc., as Tim said.
   
   This will get the mail with all the suppressed mail headers that
   show routing, timestamps, etc.  All the goody stuff that NeXT
   hides from you, but stuff that is absolutely essential when you're
   troubleshooting mail problems.
