Mike do you have Safari 4 installed?
This is the cause of the problem.
Easy work around is to drag the message to the desktop.

Apple - Support - Discussions - mail app won't save a message to .rtf ...

Dear Mac Users;

I hope someone out there on this list (who is more knowledgable than I
am) will help me with this one. I've already called Applecare Tech
Help twice, and been disconnected each time after repeated failures to
solve the dilemna. (I will try them again, when I feel that I can
tolerate the long period of time on the phone that it requires.)

I use the Mail program on my 20" iMac 2600 Pro. Until two days ago, I
could easily click on "Save As" and transfer my Mail document to my
desktop. No longer! Now, when I click on the small screen that appears
for it to be Saved As, nothing happens. I can save text edit documents
or  pages from a website, using Save as. So it must be a problem with
my Mail program. I really prefer to use it, rather than another type
of mail.

Please help!

Thanks for being there for everyone in the past... now do your stuff
once more!

Mike Watkins
