The "Dispose" menu items act on the whole message.

Right clicking on a MIME tag operates only on the object
referenced by that tag.  "Save to folder" is greyed out if the
object is not of type message/rfc822 or message/news, i.e. it
doesn't look like a mail or USENET news message.  So when you see
"Save to folder" greyed out you should consider this a sign that
the object should not be saved to any mail folder.
