So reading the echocfg help page for robot configuration, it says:
> If the NetMail message has the In-Transit attribute flag set, it      
will not be exported by SBBSecho back into a stored message (*.msg)   
file. Therefore, it is recommended to include the In-Transit attribute
flag (0x20) in the Robot's Attributes value if the Robot (e.g. script)
is going to expect the message to be in the mail base.                

This implies that so long as the in-transit flag is *not* set in the Robot's Attributes value (the default is 0, so not set is the default), the message should be exported back from the mail base to .msg format when the export_netmail() function is executed. Is that not occurring for you?
