I've not found a simple way of getting Outlook to do that.  My current
solution is to create folders on the Exchange server that they themselves
can drag and drop the messages into.

BTW, if anyone on list has discovered a way of doing this (getting the
Outlook/Exchange server combo to keep all the headers in a forwarded
message, attached or not) then please, please let me know.  I would love to
know how.  ;-D
