Default Importing plain text email messages into Outlook Express

You beat me to it. G

He can also bulk rename in a command window:

rename *.txt *.eml

Then dragndrop all of them from Win Explorer to an open OE folder.

What format can the Bespoke e-mail system export to?

If you have individual text files (one per message) and they include the
full Internet mail headers, then you can rename the TXT files to EML files
(e.g. rename MESSAGE1.TXT to MESSAGE1.EML) and then drag-and-drop the EML
files into an open OE mail folder.

I cannot find a way to import plain text email messages from a bespoke
system
into Outlook Express.

OE seems only to import existing PST files, or a limited number of other
commercial packages.

Does anybody know how I can import these messages?
