Sadly, View Headers is not ideal.

Certainly, you can use "View Headers" to get the routing information etc,
and a Save-As will get you the body text, but every version of Outlook, if
not Outlook Express, decodes the original message.  This would be "wrong"
but tolerable if they also fixed the header properly, but they don't.

For example, a BASE64 encoded text message or an 8-bit charset text message
will be presented in plain ASCII if you do a Save-As, but when you view the
headers and paste them into your copy of the body text, you will find that
they still say the original encoded description of the message or MIME
sections.

Likewise, Outlook will snip out the binary attachments (certainly the
"inline" ones referenced in HTML mail), leaving the Save-As text incomplete.

Remember back before Declude JunkMail Pro seamlessly decoded BASE64 text
sections, and how often people would post to this list that their text
filter didn't work, and that they could plainly see the text despite the
BASE64 entry in the header? I'll wager that every one of them was an Outlook
user...

Ever try searching the MS KB for view headers?

Right click the message, Options. Full Headers.
