394 MB in 4711 file as of now (I am saving the attachments as separate

You have to download them anyway. It's just that I set my newsreader
to keep all messages (even canceled ones, if I was fast enough to get
a copy).

There is a converter for OE to Agent. AFAIR Spider sent me an url
which might mean several things
a) that I can find the URL in my ICQ message archive
b) that the thing runs under Linux, maybe GPL, hence s.o. may be able
to make a conversion utility to, say, MySQL.

I find my newsreader's search abilities sufficient. I can even find
what post a specific file belongs to (by file name) :)
>An OT-filter :)
Just set your newsreader to kill all threads where I have posted a
