It is a very old thread but just to mention that I noticed today that saving a message in MSG format is now possible in Outlook.com and should be in the current flavor of OWA for professional environments. About how MSG format is richerr than EML format: I picked a message, saved i in both formats and just compared the size of saved files: 32,2 KB for EML and 142 KB for MSG. Both formats can be chosen from the Dowmload option in the ellipse menu of the opened message to save.
No idea when that MSG option was added.

It was added to new Outlook about a year ago, should have hit OWA around the same time. Almost every new feature in new Outlook is also in web as they share the same backend code.
