Extracting mail from outlook express dbx files

does anyone know of a library that can extract mail from outlook express
dbx
files?

would prefer output to be rfc2822-compatible (i.e. headers and body in
ascii). failing that, any rational, accessible format would do.

there are several proprietary packages available that can read dbx but
i’m
looking for open source. would obviously prefer ruby but other languages
are
better than nothing.

apparently outlook express (as opposed to outlook) does not expose a
com/ole
interface and thus is not controllable via the win32ole class.

i searched on raa and rubyforge and didn’t find anything.
