If you have a document object representing the mail window,

function getMessageBrowser()
{
  if (!gMessageBrowser)
    gMessageBrowser = document.getElementById("messagepane");

  return gMessageBrowser;
}

    var messagepane = getMessageBrowser();
    if (messagepane) {
        var message = messagepane.docShell.contentViewer.DOMDocument;  

Then, you can serialise the message object in some way (call toString()
?) to get the message as a string.
