I am afraid that it is not possible.

Perhaps, VasilMichev knows the trick...

  VasilMichev maybe it was not available before but now, by clicking on the ellipses (...) and choosing Download, will save the message in .eml format

    It was added recently - I noticed it available earlier this summer.
    
    ETA: I have a screenshot of the dialog from January and it is not on it. The newer screenshots I have of the dialog cut off right before it. 😞

    I guess an .eml file (i.e. the raw email) is no good…
    
    In OWA, one can create a new email, drag an existing email onto it and it gets added as an attachment, then one can click the down-arrow on the attachment to Download, which creates a file called “eml”.
    
    A .msg file is much more than an .eml though, right?
