I would like to use PERL or some other batch editor to port these files into an archival format that is flexible and accurate (importing timestamps, etc.).

Ideally, this might be conversion to XML and using XSLT files for target formats. But as a start, I would like to know if there is any built-in support in WordPress for importing Outlook files. Can you advise me?

Thanks,

Mike

When I use the WordPress exporter in the tools section, any blog that starts with an <img tag breaks. The content does not get copied to the XML and instead just has

When you click on the Distribute button (at least, if you're the Creator of the Storify) you see

XML is just a file type, it's the format inside that matters. For example, WordPress, Blogger, and Posterous are all XML, but all quite different.

Does Storify make any claims on the export file's compatibility? Like, do they claim that you could bring it into Blogger? If so, you could use the Blogger importer for example.

It sounds like you already imported things to the WP.org site; check it and make sure. Check older posts and media as well.
