Both Outlook and Outlook Express can show the original raw message source,
though it isn't obvious. In OE choose File | Properties | Details | Message
Source (or use ctrl+F3 to do the same thing). Outlook has a different path
to the message source; I don't have Outlook at home so I don't remember the
path, but it's there. Outlook can save selected messages to a text file,
which OE can't do.
