How about a single *folder*? Would that be any good?
One way to save an entire folder to your HDD quickly is this. You can
store them any place you want, but I'll use the Desktop as an example.
Right click on the Desktop | New | Folder. Create as many as needed, and
for now, put them on the left side of the Desktop.
Open OE and drag the window to the right enough to see the folder you
created on the Desktop. Open the folder in OE and click on one message.
Ctrl+A will highlight them all. Left click on the messages and drag them
to the folder on the Desktop.

Excellent solution, even better than what I wanted. (I said "text file"
because I thought it would be easier.)

Thanks. I've now managed to get five years' worth of sent messages out of
OE's message store.
