Vista - old email folders

I have saved all of my email folders with different messages in them on my
thumb dirve. The question i have is how do i put thoes folders on the new
Windows email program so i can continue to add to those folders. The one
problem with this is i can view them, but they are all in HTML format instead
of one message at a time. And that leads me to a second question--How do i
convet them back to the orignal format they were?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What program were you using that you save these folders from?
How are you opening them?

haven't yet, but if i did-like i said before, it displays all the messages as
one html instead of as one message at a time.

OE's File | Export only exports to the PST file for an installed version of
Outlook, so I still don't understand.
What are the extensions of the saved messages?

If the file extension of the files is eml, then you can just drag the
messages overtop a WinMail message list window and drop them and then they
will be incorporated into the message store.
