You can drag all the message headers from your Inbox (or any other folder) to 
a regular document folder in a flash drive. Each message in that folder will 
be .eml file.

On the Vista machine, open Windows Mail and your Inbox (or a corresponding 
folder from OE). Select all the .eml files from the flash drive and drag them 
into the Message List in Windows Mail. 

It actually works for Outlook message, Eudora, and so forth if you first 
import the messages into Outlook Express. Then do the thing above with the 
messages that are in Outlook Express.
