Yes. While viewing the message itself, press V for View attachment. An
ordinary email contains (in the view of pine) one attachment, which is the
body without headers. Then choose S for Save from the attachment index.

Right, right and right!  Thanks for clarifying and simplifying.  Saving the
attachment is the way to go, though it does include a blank line at the start of
the file.

cat | tail +n > filename

where n is the number of lines you want chopped off the top of the message (the
headers plus the blank line above the message).  At least, this is how I produce
the file "filename" containing message text and no headers.
