You could try dragging it to an IE window, opening it there
and then doing a File Save As... Web Page Complete (.mht)
In fact, if you're lucky you could see if just saving the E-mail
in WLMail using that extension (while being online and in
HTML mode in order to fully render the document) would be
enough. I doubt it but you could compare the two files to
see which one was bigger... <eg>
Note: you can't drag an E-mail directly, you have to make
it an attachment of a dummy message and then drag it from
that window's attachment list. (E.g. press Menu,w first.)

Try to remember the way it once was? <eg>

What are you getting at? Just select as many as you want
using either Shift- (for a contiguous range) or Ctrl- (for specific
ones) and then press Enter...
