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.

Is there a way to do this?
 
Yes, you can drag & drop messages out of Outlook into an Explorer window.
This will save the messages as msg-files which you can later drag & drop
back into Outlook or open directly from Explorer.

What format are they saved in? (.eml, .msg, ...?)

Outlook files, so they can be treated as emails that had

original headers.

They're 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 then the text of the email follows. There seems to be
no end-of-message signifier. THe fields that follw
Received (which appears three tiems) 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.
