[gui-talk] Outlook Express files

[Evelyn Weckerly]

Hi, Laura,

Actually, I only want to get those data files, nothing else. My 
desktop is in crisis. At this point, I don't know whether it needs a 
new power supply or worse. I may have to move those files to another 
computer but not all of Outlook Express. I would be moving them from 
one XP machine to another.
