What you're describing is specific to Outlook, which isn't really intended
as an Internet mail client (rather an Exchange mail client), and which is a
totally different product from Outlook Express.

In Outlook Express you just have to hit Ctrl-F3 to get the full source of
the message since that message is stored as it was received.

Outlook destroys the structure of an inbound Internet mail in order to
store it. Retrieving the full headers of the original mail is definitely a
useful thing, but always bear in mind that what Outlook regurgitates as the
body of the e-mail may no longer bear any relation to the headers it spits
out since the body was, errmmm, "processed" by Outlook in order to store it
in its own proprietary format.
