Sorry for getting back to you so late. No time for email lately.
Yes, I believe the "Export kludges" option would export the headers
as well (never tried it, though). The difference lies in the format
of the text file. Even if you keep everything, TB couldn't import it
back if it's not in a certain format. That's why I prefer the unix
mbox format.

If you want to import only part of a unix mbox file, just use an
editor to cut out the part you want, save it as another file, and
import it. As long as it's in the right format (starting a message
with a "From" line, followed by headers, a blank line, and the
message body), it should be imported fine.
