var emlLoadOptions = new EmlLoadOptions()
       {
               PreserveTnefAttachments = true,
               PreserveEmbeddedMessageFormat = true
       };

// Initialize MailMessage with EmlLoadOptions
using (MailMessage message = MailMessage.Load("TestEml.eml", emlLoadOptions))
{
	// Convert EML to MSG
	message.Save("output.msg", SaveOptions.DefaultMsg);
}

[Visual Basic]

' Initialize EmlLoadOptions
Dim emlLoadOptions = New EmlLoadOptions() With
{
             .PreserveTnefAttachments = True,
             .PreserveEmbeddedMessageFormat = True
       }

' Initialize MailMessage with EmlLoadOptions
Using message As MailMessage = MailMessage.Load("TestEml.eml", emlLoadOptions)
	' Convert EML to MSG
	message.Save("output.msg", SaveOptions.DefaultMsg)
End Using
