Since there's no way to edit a received message in TB, let alone
doing it automatically, the only realistic way to do this is to
export the message and do it with an editor, then you may import it
back or save it as a text file. The whole process (including
importing back into TB) could be automated with a better editor, if
the part you want to save can be formulized.

A common misunderstanding is to think of a Replied Message filter as
one for your replies. It's not. It's for the messages to which you
replied. Example? Well, I don't use it. But for people who regularly
purge old mail, it might be useful for them to park those messages
so they won't be deleted.
