IIRC correctly, it's not possible from Outlook, but it *is* possible
from Exchange Server.  If you set up Exchange as a POP3 server and move
the messages to a folder that you can access, any POP3 client can now
get the raw messages (*don't* ask me for the details, it's been two
years and a job ago).
