I knew that. That's how I got the headers that I included. What I meant is
that you can't view/copy a flat text RFC822 copy of the message once
Outlook has grabbed it. It tries to interpret the body no matter what you
tell it. It puts all the headers in one place -- then splits off SOME of
the headers and mixes them in with the body (From:, To:, Date:, Subject:)
so it can interpret and display them.

Then when you tell it to save the message as a file you only get parts of
it -- if you want the headers you have to do as you described above.

I think the only way to get the whole message back is to forward it as an
attachment. If it can put it back together to send off as an RFC822
compliant attachment then why isn't there an option to just VIEW the
original text version of the message with headers? 

Ahh -- sorry, it's just DOS, *nix mail early learning showing through. I
don't like MUA's that muck around with recieved mail in a way that you
can't see exactly what he SMTP daemon was looking at as it came in.
