Then change it. When you are offered a dangerously large
e-mail, download it on its own, and, I would suggest, save a
copy of the raw e-mail before Pluto tries to debatch it. Not
using Hermes I cannot tell you where Hermes downloads e-mail
to, but someone here can point you in the right direction.

Attacher requires either the raw e-mail, or the e-mail as
*exported* from Pluto using menu over the list of e-mails in
the box. Using the save option on the actual e-mail does not
work

Pluto should not be overwriting anything.

I suppose that Hermes (I do not use it) could, but it seems
highly unlikely.

When Pluto debatches, it saves the recently downloaded file
in the !Pluto.Backup.Mail1 directory, which you can access
from the icon bar menu. If necessary, you can fish the raw
e-mail out of the directory and drag it straight to
attacher.

The next time that e-mail is downloaded and debatched, Pluto
renames Mail1 as Mail2; the existing Mail2 is renamed Mail3
and do on. You can configure the number of mail (and news)
backups in IconBar->preferences_>News/Mail - I have 25 which
allows me to go back some hours if necessary.
