[Ham-Computers] Saving e-mail messages "outside" MS Outlook Express?

[John Burch]

Fellow qth.net supporters:

Here's the situation....

You come into the room and fire up your computer,
but all you get is either the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death
for the benefit of you Mac or lucky Linux users), or lots
of whirring and clicking because your computer or it's
operating platform just ate itself.

Along with all of your neat links and other wonderful stuff 
that you have saved over time, you have also lost all of your
precious e-mail messages.

Here's the question...

How can one, within the confines of MS OE, "save" messages
onto disk or some other media so that the messages can be
reloaded once the computer is repaired, or loaded onto 
another computer that is still functioning?  And we're taking 
about a bunch of e-mail messages here, not just three or four.

Please refrain from suggesting that all messages be printed,
or that all messages be exported to your favorite word
processor and saved as .doc files, or any of a number of
other cumbersome suggestions.  And suggestions about
installing another hard drive, etc are great, but what if I don't
have a second drive available?  I want to be able to save this stuff
off of and outside the machine in question.

I don't mind you directing your replies to me instead of to
the list.  This topic may be of VERY little interest to the
rest of the list subscribers.

Thanks for the read, and any reasonable suggestions to help
me figure out how to accomplish this daunting feat.
