Or, come to that, don't use a form at all. Create another action to save an email using an ID and pass that in a regular link. If you want to be able to save several at once (eg. select them with checkboxes) of course, you'll need a form. But the principle is the same: just pass the message ID back to your app and have it grab whatever you want to save from the remote server.
