When you are selecting the columns in the CSV file destination, try setting the Data Type for the source column to

text stream [DT_TEXT] or Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT] (as the case maybe).

I'm using SQL Server Export Wizard. In the choose destination be sure to use a Delimited Format with a double quote text qualifier.

Cast the column in the select statement CAST([Message] as NVARCHAR(255)) as Message (Message is defined as ntext)

Use a comma delimiter

...then map to DT_NTEXT in the export wizard
