[TheForge] OT- for computer geeks

[Michael H. Murphy]

Outlook express doesn't save email as text files; they're in a compressed
format.  If you want them as text files, you'll have to pull them up in
Outlook Express, and then save them as text files.  At least that's how it
works with Outlook, and I'd assume that it works that way for Express as
well.
