SUMMARY
Given a multipart message that contains multiple messages (use case e.g. Forward multiple E-Mail as is within a single email), those messages are shown as embedded message.
In the message structure view, you can select a single part / substructure and choose to save it via the context menu. Instead of a file containing the selected part (including all its sub-parts), i only get an empty file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a multipart message with one or more (other) mails as attachment
2. Open the structure view (Ctrl+Alt+D)
3. Select one of the attached messages / subparts of the outer message that is a message by itself
4. Right-Click on it
5. Choose Save and save the file

OBSERVED RESULT
A file with the chosen name will be created.
It has zero bytes size (no content)

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should have the actual content of the selected mime part
