OT: Getting OE6 mails xported 2 single TXT files automatically?

Sorry for shortening the RE line so much, but I guess it's still too long
(!) - SO PLEASE PAY ATTENTION THAT THERE ARE NO
EXTRA SPACINGS BETWEEN THE WORDS OR CUT OFF
WORDS OR WHATSOEVER!!!!!!! As for the topic, it should
have been "OT: Getting Outlook Express 6 emails exported to single
TXT files automatically? (was: My current practise in using Conlang
e-mails)"

No, converting things into *one* file is still not what I want. A
disadvantage of exporting to what-so-ever is that you cannot sort the mails
by date anymore, but anyway, topic is more important.
Unfortunately, my mother uses Outlook Express and has not installed Outlook
at all on her pc. I must use my mother's pc because I do all my mail stuff
on hers - on my own pc I haven't got internet access, and my parents won't
let me have one as long as I don't earn my own money (basta). Their
arguments are reasonable, so no chance.

I still must look for that address. The script is available somewhere at
Freshmeat.net and Sourceforge as well, search for "ms_dbx_reader.v1.2a.zip".
Actually, you'd simply have to program a php script using the class
contained in the
mentioned zip file like this: until (so it's a while-loop) all mails are
read (feof), get the message text, date, title, from, to, etc. of each
message, save it to date.[shortened topic line].html (html because there are
still some people sending HTML mails instead of text-only). Et voilà - each
single message extracted into a text file containing only *one* message. Of
course redundant spaces (at the beginning and between words) and Re:'s resp.
"Re:   RE:"'s must be cut off before saving and further processing.
