You must save the PBEM 1.01 file in an orders phase as a game file. After DLing the patch reopen the saved game files make your moves and then save as a PBEM, if you are saving running files with incremental numbers you will have to renumber the new PBEM file to fit your needs, this may also require you to go back a turn or two to get an orders phase file, if your last file is a movie only one.

from the Battlefront.com 1.02 download page:

Transferring PBEM files from Version 1.0 or Version 1.01 to Version 1.02:

1. In CMBB version 1.0 or 1.01, load the PBEM file. In an orders phase, save the pbem file as a saved game by clicking on the little SAVE button on the command bar at the bottom of the screen.

2. Repeat Step 1 for all pbem files you wish to convert.

3. Install the 1.02 patch (make sure you have already installed the 1.01 patch)

4. Open CMBB Version 1.02

5. Open the saved game file from step 1.

6. Choose Email as the startup option for the saved game.

7. Place your orders as you normally would in a PBEM, and press "GO"

8. Congratulations! You have now converted your pbem file.

9. Repeat as necessary for any other files you need to covert..
