I presume you did Save As for each of the 132 messages.
Make sure to save as format "Outlook Express E-mail message", not as "SimpleText text document".
The format popup reverts to SimpleText after every save.
When saving you may want to add PC extension ".eml" to file names but that is not necessary.
Create the New Archive and specify Archive Type as "Zip Archive".
Forget about BZip/GZip.
Drag the folder of saved emails into the archive.
Probably should make two folders so less than 3 MB.
When OE encodes the attachment it gets bigger so 3 MB goes to 4MB and there are ISP limits on email size.
Usually 5 MB is limit, but your ISP may have lower limit and message gets lost.
When emails arrive on PC, save the attachments, open them and drag the emails directly into Outlook Inbox.
