Would it be possible to also allow TL4 trusted users to access the raw email source? I miss this on a regular basis.

On our system we are using TL4 instead of giving moderator privileges (including me) because we don’t want to have access to categories on a daily basis that don’t concern us (management team, mostly) and log in using a dedicated admin account to perform admin tasks.
