Using OE6 in WinXP. All updates etc in place.

I have a folder called "2002 saved" and there are 190 (text, not binary
and
not HTML) messages in it. I want to save all of these messages in a single
text file on my hard disk. How do I do it?

By the way, when I try the export function I get this error message:

quote
The export could not be performed.

An error occurred while initializing MAPI.
/quote

In any case I don't think the export function is what I really want
because
OE says that the messages will be exported to Outlook or Microsoft
Exchange--neither of which I have nor want.

How do I save all 190 messages in a single text file?
