Description
Users have have a basic right to download one of their messages.
I am talking about an intact message with headers and body.
Also for security reasons, users may wish to download a pristine message and give it to their security person.
However for some reason there is no choice in the menus to download a message.
When implementing this perhaps have a .eml as the file name extension for the message.

Research direction
Start by locating the message menu entry point and the code that exposes a message's complete headers and body. The work is done when a user can download one intact message as an .eml file and the result is suitable for sharing with a security reviewer.
