You could coerce nnml to generate .txt-Files by configuring it like
this:

(nnml "test"
      (nnml-get-new-mail nil)
      (nnml-directory "/tmp/nnmltest/")
      (nnml-use-compressed-files ".txt")
      (nnml-compressed-files-size-threshold 0))

It won't cause any actual compression since ".txt" doesn't trigger
Emacs' auto-compression-mode.
