Yes, although the procedure is a bit "clumsly": you need to create a 
post-processing view in the old post-pro format (cf. attached file), 
then use the "Triangulate" plugin. You can then export the file with the 
View->Save as menu.

PS : you can automate the whole process using e.g.

Merge "triangulate.pos";
Plugin(Triangulate).Run;
// use .msh output format--this option will change in
// a future release
PostProcessing.Format = 5;
Save View[1] "mymesh.msh";
