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.
