[MlMt] Data loss issue with export rule action when using r7000+

Hi,

this message is important to anyone using a test release with a revision number of r7000-r7025. This can be seen in the About window of MailMate.

Issue: When using a mailbox rule action which exports emails in full (the `.eml` format) then MailMate would fail to include the headers of the main part. This includes, e.g., the subject, the email addresses, and the date of the messages. If the email(s) were subsequently deleted in MailMate then this would mean the permanent loss of this header information.

This does not affect other ways to export emails, e.g., the “File ▸ Export Data” menu item or drag & drop.

A fix for this issue is available in a direct download here: [MailMate_r7026.tbz](https://updates.mailmate-app.com/sub/archives/MailMate_r7026.tbz). This release also includes a lot of changes to message generation which I've been working on recently. This is why I haven't put this update on the test release branch yet (currently r7024). Unfortunately, I won't have time to fix any urgent issues today. This also means you might prefer to only update to r7026 if you need to export raw messages using a rule action.
