Maybe in the future, but I haven't yet figured out a way to do that well.

The problem is that just having a "Mesh 3DM" file listed in the regular file types for "Save As" could fairly easily lead to someone losing all their original data.

That could occur if someone thought they were saving all their actual surface data (since normally saving to 3DM format does that), but they were instead actually writing only mesh data to the 3DM file and no surfaces. The resulting "mesh 3DM" file would not even load back into MoI since it skips mesh objects in 3DM files.

So it could be pretty easy for someone to say - hey, where is my data? I just saved it to 3DM and closed everything down and now that 3DM file won't load...

That's a potentially really bad data-loss scenario that could be caused by adding in something that made 2 3DM formats show up in a file types list.
