Possible to save a complete thread?

[HermanAA]

I do save some of the good info on this list. It takes too much time.
Is it possible to save an entire thread in one go?
I use Evolution (default setup) in Ubuntu 8.10.

Saving an entire thread in one go (all the text, delete the chaff
manually) would be a big time-saver.

For my reading I filter on subject, then 'read' each message in the
thread.
To save a thread I now (for each message) 'select all text' and 'copy'
and save using gedit.
