An email is received in the BLOB format. The Attachment within the email is always in the xml format except the XML data keeps varying from email to email.
Email Input -> Compute -> File Output
| Code: |
| SET OutputRoot.BLOB.BLOB = InputRoot.MIME.Parts.Part[2].Data.BLOB.BLOB |
Is this a good way of writing to file i.e in the BLOB format or would it be best to convert the message to the XML format first. |

What's the difference (in terms of what you're writing to the disc) between the unparsed BLOB and serialized XML?

| No difference at all. The content remains the same. |

Then why ask the question?
Or, to put it another way, why did you consider spending time parsing the BLOB & serializing the result when the BLOB is the output you want?

| Understood. For some reason I thought it was not the best practice. This one time when I was doing the same it kept appending 'Null' characters to the end of the message. |

Sounds like the configuration of your FileOutput node to me.
Try it, see what happens, repost in the event of issues.
