How to retain headers (Outlook XP)

[Mathew Hendry]

Is there a way to make Outlook store mail headers properly? If I transfer a
message to my IMAP server, it strips out many header lines, adds a few of
its own, and stores the original headers in a binary attachment (???).

how are you transferring the messages? I know using rules wizard to move
them to other mailboxes munges the headers...

Straight drag'n'drop. The headers look fine within Outlook (Context
Menu/Options...) but viewing the raw message on the server shows the
modified headers and attachment.

Here's a sample to show what I mean. Original message:
