The main reason I didn't just enter a bug for "Save as file" not including
the headers is that it appeared in SaveMessagesToFile() that someone had
made a deliberate decision to exclude the headers.  As a result, I thought
it would be better to open the issue for discussion first. 

My opinion is that saving the entire message, including headers, is the
expected result of saving a message to a file.  It disconcerted me quite a
bit when I first tried it and didn't find _any_ header information at all
in the resulting file.  I had expected either full headers or at least
something similar to the headers displayed in the preview pane.

I do like the way multiple messages get saved in the order they are
selected.  Just today, I wanted to comment on several messages that had
arrived out-of-order in one big response.  Being able to control their
order in the save file was nice.
