If your $mbox_type is set to mbox, then a simple C (copy-message) will
do what you want. Otherwise you will need to create a macro like such:
macro E index "<pipe-message>cat > "
and just append the filename you want to the end of the command.
This is one of those places where scriptability would be nice, since
what you'd really want is something like:
function export-message () {
$path = prompt "save to: "
copy-message $path
}
