Does anyone know a good efficient script for dumping LOTS of messages to 
text?

There is a "Save Messages As Text" script I have (found on fog city 
IIRC), but it does a horrible job on saving large numbers of emails that 
have the same name. When it saves, it appears to try to save with the 
subject as the name, if it finds that name is in use, it adds a number to 
the end of the name, and repeats. This is wonderful if you have only a 
few with the same name... but once you cross 20 or 30, it slows to a 
crawl as it starts back at 1 each time. Once you cross 100, it tends to 
just fail with a timeout error (that's right, as of 100, it can take 
upwards of 5 minutes to figure out the next available name).

I have to export 570+ messages, all with the same subject. Needless to 
say, the fog city script isn't gonna do it.

So before I write my own, I was wondering if anyone else has a good one.
