Select the message and choose the "F"orward option.  Put nothing on the 
To: Cc: or Bcc: lines, and change the Fcc: line to be the folder you want 
to save to.  Then edit away and "send."  Note that this is only a 
workaround with the side effect that the message will be From you, not 
the original sender.
