One key factor here is that all of the information in the database should be able to be re-created from the message bodies alone, if there should happen to be a catastrophic system crash.
Just to be dense, let me ask for clarification: by "message body" you mean the entire original message, as received on the wire, not just the message payload (i.e. sans RFC 2822 headers). If so, I agree completely.
But I also think the decoded message should be stored on the file system somehow as well. I.e. decode attachments and store then as separate files too.
