Export Vista Mail messages back to Outlook Express

I had no trouble moving Outlook Express messages from one of my XP machines
to my new Vista Business laptop. Now, however, I'd like to go in the other
direction. I tried using the Export feature in Vista, but when I point
Outlook Express to the folder containing the exported files, it reports, "no
files found." I've already tried changing the attributes of both the folder
and the exported files so that they were not read-only (that was the key to
importing messages into Vista Mail).

Any ideas?

Open the message store folder, located the .eml files then drag and drop
them into an OE folder.
