[MlMt] Copying a message

[aisrael]

If you use Evernote, you can forward the mail you want to keep to your 
Evernote specific email address, and it will create a note with a clean 
(searchable) representation of the original email.
You can also drag and drop it into a Devonthink window, with the same 
final output as with Evernote (incidentally Devonthink can keep a 
searchable database of all Mailmate emails).
