The following way seems to preserve the original message's headers,
so it should be fine.

From:

http://download.mozilla.org/?product=thunderbird-1.0.7&os=win&lang=it-IT

I downloaded the package `Thunderbird Setup 1.0.7.exe'
and installed it into my MS Windows xp system by simpy clicking
the icon.
I launched thunderbird and with:
 
 Tools > Import

I imported Outlook mail into thunderbird. It took about
20 minutes for my 160 MB mail.


I started Gnus, and from the Group buffer did: `G f' and gave gnus
the following path:

/mnt/windows/Documents and Settings/rodolfo/Dati applicazioni/Thunderbird/Profiles/rmdmn2ve.default/Mail/Local Folders/Outlook Posta0.sbd/mail_folder

, where `mail_folder' is the arbitrary name of the plain text
file that corresponds to the Outlook folder you want.
