Hope this isn't as FAQ - I can't figure out how to save mail into a  
regular file. I'm using the NeXT mail app (I know how to do it from the  
regular Unix mail, and I know how to save the mail into another mailbox).
I also know how to save a file or folder inside af a message, but I just  
want to save the entire message into a file. I had hoped there was some  
way to drag something off of one of the mail windows to do this.

Thanks

Under 3.0, there's an Edit Service in Mail's Services that allows you to save
an entire mail message or selected text to a file.

Inside any app you can save text using the following two menu commands:

Edit->Select All
Services->Edit->Save Selection
