Or you could create an incoming message filter.
Make it a common filter if using multiple accounts.
Something like:-
Condition: Any Message
Action: Export the message -
path/to/folder/%subj.txt
Export format: plain text
When destination file exists: increment file name
(define a template if you want it different to the usual "saved
message" template for the account)
Set it to be Active, executed only by hotkey.
If it's a common filter, share with whatever accounts.
Select a group of messages and press your hotkey combination - they
will be saved in your specified windows folder. If the folder doesn't
exist, it will be created - well it was here when testing, anyway.
