How to import .MSG files?

The "Import Messages from .MSG/.EML Files" option under "Tools -> Import Messages" is grayed out, and dragging and dropping .MSG files into TheBat doesn't seems to work either. Thanks.

I just tried to import a couple of .MSGs, but the imported emails miss the original date field, the subject field, the "from" field and several other fields. Is there anyway to properly import .MSG files into TheBat?
