Creating files for email messages

Greetings
I save some of my email messages such as receipts. I always need to drag them first to my Desk top , Open them again and then save them to the appropriate file. The drop down menu from "File" in Mail "Save as" will only give me the choices to save to of Desk top- My home folder - Applications or Documents . It will not show the individual document files .

Is there a way to create a file (s) for Mail messages so I can save them in one step , rather than all of these steps? Thank you, Barbara

I have an iMac with Snow Leopard and 4GB memory

Duh !! I was clicking on the download arrow to the right of "Documents" instead of clicking on Documents in the left side gray panel .

Do I quality for the Stupidest Question of the Day Award ? LOL

Thanks
Barbara
