Nope, not plain text, but I unscrewed myself. Found a freeware app called
DBXtract that digs through the file and extracts it to EML files. I figured
that I could at least see the data even if it wasn't actually in OE. Then I
thought, what if I drag and drop an EML into OE... yup, it works :) So I
managed to get it back.

Doesn't suprise me, but it does what I  need it to. One of these days I'll
find something better, but it might take a few years ;) I used Netscape 3
until about 6 months ago when I found OE Quotefix and switched to Outlook so
it can handle multiple accounts.
