    While reading the message that you want to export, just press "x" and a
    prompt will come up asking for a file name. Unfortunately, I haven't found anyway to do more than 1 message at a time.

    on top of that what I found out is that many boards have web interface which helps to save online archive of multiple messages and whole threads as web pages.

    Not as convenient as QWK but still. QWK support of a board is the ultimate solution for a conscious archiver.
