    pros: 4.x 5.0
    liboe is a C library that reads Outlook Express 4 and 5.x mailboxes and
	returns a standard Unix mailbox to a function specified as a parameter
	to the converter. oe2mbx is a C program using liboe to convert Outlook
	Express messages to the Unix mailbox format

    pros: 4.x
	cons: no 5.0 support
    This software is suited for anyone who wants to move his e-mail files
	from OutLook Express (mbx format) to Communicator v4.61
    It can't process files from OutLook Express 5 because this release stores
	e-mail data in files with a format (dbx) that OtlkToNs can't read.
    It is still in Alpha stage and it may not work well with some *.mbx files.
	Also, the format specifications for the *.mbx files used in this program have
	been recopiled from the Internet and may not be complete.
    OutLook Express uses some index files (idx) in order to speed up access to
	e-mail data. These are not used by this program because e-mail bodies keep
	stored into *.mbx files.

    Quoted Printable encoding (courtesy of a DLL), and thus handles attachments
    and HTML messages.
