Another one for the record books. Once again, the kind folks at Redmond have proven how truly incompetent they are, and why at the end of the day, a power user can only survive on an open source platform.

Microsoft has stripped the ability to save raw e-mail messages from Outlook 2007. Supposedly this capability exists in Outlook Express and/or Windows Mail. But there are mountains of bad advice suggesting that export to those programs, followed by an import, or an export to .txt, is an acceptable alternative. (It isn't, in all cases, the transport headers aren't included. Who knows how else Microsoft is molesting the message).

Commercial solutions exist - one for only $14 (are you kidding me?) and one for over $60 (are you kidding me???)
