Importing eml Files or Drag ‘n Drop into WLM Win 8

Hi there, (reposting from Windows 8/ Email and Communications/ Mail app)

I exported around 15 eml messages form Win 7 WLM which cannot be imported in to Win 8 WLM.

Importing fails with "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is using...".

Attempting to drag 'n drop the emls into WLM DID work for one or two emails, but now instead of importing the emails into the selected mail folder or message pane, the program comes up with the very annoying habit of creating a NEW message with the imports,

So it is now impossible to read these messages with WLM- even when associating them in explorer with wlmail the program comes up without the selected message anywhere in view.

Edit:

Just remembered that when exporting the messages from Win 7 WLM there was a pop-up message about missing property pages. This may have some bearing because all but two of the emails will import into WLM.

One is entitled "Thank you for registering with ImageShack"

and the other is entitled "Welcome to AMD Support and Game forums"

Might there be possible content in these emails that would be unavailable through my current security settings?
