Drag the message to the desktop. ;)
If you did mean by script, then it's really quite a bit of work (as of E2k1
that is...I don't use that script now with Entourage X.)
Unless this is something that you really do often (why desktop?) then maybe
you would rather have a script.
I can not remember why the 'Save As...' menu wasn't good enough for me back
when, but it should have been...I barely used the script I have to save a
message as text on the desktop (which I will send you right away.)
If I were doing it all again, I'd just go ahead and use 'Save As...' with
the selected message. I used to get KeyQuencer to do this kind of thing,
but now you can use the built-in GUI scripting.
By menu will obviously throw a standard Save dialog, so you'd have to decide
if you wanted total automation and then do something to get a file name from
the message context.
The script I'll send you (not 100% by me) uses AS 'write' to save the
message to a location you choose (you can hardwire it), but you'll still
need to write some code to get a name if you don't want user interaction.
Again, with the rarity that you'd probably ever save messages to the
desktop, it's much easier just to drag the one or two you'd like.
Or use Save As... by hand, voice or script. (Entourage shipped with a Save
As... script in the Script Menu, IIRC, so you could check that code.)

...Script coming off-list, Kim.
P.S. When the West coast wakes up, Paul B. may shoot this all out the water
with a bellow and few lines of code, so...
