A feature to append mail or news messages to a file would be great, so that you
can save interesting messages into a file in the mbox format.

was also requested on npm.wishlist, see

My new NoteTaker! context menu extension allows you to "clip" text to a file
when you're browsing, it doesn't work with mail & news yet but...

mbox, XML etc *may* be a future addtion... :-)

Iiuc, as a workaround at least, one can simply use a local folder (mbox format):
copy messages to it (then copy that file wherever you like).
