I like to save emails using "Message Format" for "save as type" so that if I
ever want to forward or reply later, I can simply click the message and do
so. The default for "save as type" is "Text Only" as there is apparently no
way to change this default so I have to change this on each and every email I
want to save.

IMHO, There should be an option to change the "Save as type". If not, the
default should be to save the message in the original format that it was sent
(Message Format), not "Text Only".
