Maybe I've misunderstood but you can get the message from inside Perl
embeddded into exim. Here's some example Perl:

    my $exim_hdrs = Exim::expand_string('$message_headers');
    my $exim_body = Exim::expand_string('$message_body');
    my $exim_body_end = Exim::expand_string('$message_body_end');


I do this in my bayesian spam filter which runs inside embedded perl
from an exim filter:

Apologies if I've misunderstood what you're trying to do.
