Sven,
I had saved the emails from Outlook Express, with the "Save As" option in 
the menu.  Evidently, I somehow changed the file extension.....maybe because 
I often change the wording of how it's going to save, so that I can find 
things more easily.  In Win98SE, I never had to worry about the extension, 
because it knew what extension needed to be used for emails from Outlook 
Exp.  So I could just put in whatever wording I wanted, and it would 
automatically save as an eml.....or whatever that extension was in Win98SE. 
I guess  that doesn't work in XP.

You were correct, all I had to do was rename the files and add the .eml 
extension, and now they're fine.  Thanks!
