It's not *exactly* that because it expects to save to a mailbox. If
$mbox_type is set to "maildir", for example, and you try to use
<copy-message> or <decode-copy> (or any of the other variants) to save
the message to "foo.txt", it will instead create a maildir mailbox
called foo.txt and put the email in that mailbox. Yes, inside
foo.txt/new/ there will be a text file with that message, but that's
pretty roundabout.
In any case, as you can see from the part of my message that I quoted,
I mentioned that possibility (albeit more succinctly).
