MailView's appeal was that it didn't need to be *installed*;
I could just run it as a static binary off my desktop, etc.
As it isn't an MUA (no need to deal with network traffic),
it just needed to be able to parse the format of the .dbx
files and present their contents.

So, I could locate the messages of interest and extract
them from the archive into individual .EML files.

Then, simply erase the MailView executable from my desktop!
