Text message to Outlook

J

John Abbott

I have a number of old email files I want to archive as
Outlook files, so they can be treated as emails that had
been received in Outlook. The files contain all of the
original headers. They're all plain text files, with no
extension; they came form an
old Macintosh. The first part of the file contans headers:

Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: from xxxxxx.com (xxxxx.xxxxxx.com
[209.113.175.3]) by xxxxxx.oem.net (8.9.2/8.7.4) with SMTP
id OAA06710 for <[email protected]>; Thu, 5 Aug 1999
14:58:19 -0400 (EDT)
Received: from NMF-Message_Server by xxxx.com
....
and the text of the email follows. There seems to be
no end-of-message signifier. The fields that follow
Received (which appears three times) are Message-ID, X-
Mailer, Date, From, To, Subject, Mime-Version, Content-
Type, and Content-Disposition. There is a blank line
separating the headers and the message text.

How can I make these into Outlook files? Ideally I'd
like to have them as Outlook '97 files, although I have
Outlook 2000 on my machine.

you'll need to open it in a program OL can import from - maybe OE, Eudora,
or Netscape.
