If they are indeed the rfc822 file format, then they already are in
what you'd call .eml format, more or less. If so, then you can read
them with more (or less;-), feed them into sendmail (the command) as
detailed in the wiki (I should know this, I wrote that entry;-) ... If
you do
file /path/to/spam/<whatever filename>
what does it say? It should be something like:
# file /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20070427/spam/A0613CCB0B.3AA2E
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20070427/spam/A0613CCB0B.3AA2E: RFC
822 mail text
