Mail Cannot save attachments in Raw Message Source

Question

Mail Cannot save attachments in Raw Message Source

When I try to save email as Raw Message Source, Include Attachments is grayed out. It is not grayed out when I choose rtf or plain text files. How come?

The raw message includes any attachments encoded in the text form used for mail transmission, so there is no need for the "Include Attachments" option.

Thank you.
I saved the email as Raw in a folder on my desktop, then went to file-import mailbox in mail, and tried to import it. I got a message that it saved to an import folder in the mailbox list, but there is no such file. I tried making an Import folder and import it again, but it did not work.
Then I tried saving as Plain Text and Rich Text Format. I got an error that No valid Mail for Mac OS X files were found.
I have SpamSieve, could that be a problem?

Actually, I want to learn this so I can save emails from other Mail programs on other computers. Thanks!
