I had the same thought when debugging the topic parser problem - that it'd be nice to be able to pick through the message without having to decode the pickle's wrappings.

Although rather than saving them as plaintext, I'd be just as happy with an unpickle/repickle util for when I want to monkey with a message.  (if only to let me read it without swearing at it...)
