In VM, we do this by marking a thread (`M T').  Then `M n z' forwards it.

If you already have a message being composed and want to attach this 
thread as a MIME attachment, then do `M n a' and it will get attached to 
the message being composed.

Just to save the thread to a file, you do of course `M n s'.

If you use thread folding, it is quite a bit easier.  Just collapse the 
thread in question (`T') and then use `z' or `a' or `s'.
