That's correct, but trying to do it "after the fact" may result in some
unintended errors. I'd be very cautious, if I were you or you may make your
situation worse.

Consider creating a clone of your old system in a new identity and then move
the old stored files into the message store folder for that identity and you
should be able to have it all. But remember, if it's been awhile since you
connected to those newsgroups, all messages that have been deleted from the
server in the interim, will also be deleted from your local copy DBX file
when you next connect to that newsgroup.

Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be helped.
Thanks.

The backup procedure includes the dbx files. So it looks like the 4
registry
items needs to be imported also so that OE knows where it is up to.
