I'm an expert witness in a patent infringement case and need to

I have all the E-mails in folders by year and month. (Eudora
v7.1.0.9)

What is the best way to extract just the client E-mail and collect
into a single text file? There's only ~2400 of them :-)

Thanks!

Eudora stores the files in human-readable .mbx files.

It would probably take about a day to do that manually (and might
result in the odd error). The script idea would work okay.

Another method would be to create a mailbox just for the target files
and filter the messages (setting up an appropriate filter function and
using Special-Filter Messages in Eudora) to that mailbox. Inspect,
then select all and print out all the messages to a PDF or whatever.

Whatever method you use, be sure to check that you've got them all and
no extras-- it's VERY easy to miss ones that were sent from a
different computer or whatever depending on what criteria you are
using to do the selection.
