Feeds says it supports importing text files. Great. Set up the feed, mapped a few things, went to import, and it didn't import a thing.
Here's a sample entry from the .txt file:

-----I believe the site was created in movabletype.org. I can export the data into the .txt. Would it be easier for me to convert the text file into something more drupal friendly?

I don't see .txt listed on the project page: http://drupal.org/project/feeds or the doc overview http://drupal.org/node/622696.
Both of which do list the types that can be imported.

It's listed within the admin interface, but I guess that doesn't matter. I resaved as a CSV, which did nothing, and downloaded an XML which also didn't import a thing.
Installed a local version of D6, hoping I can import the files in to there to then bring into 7.
I hate inheriting old, strange sites...
