I have to transfer the user preferences to another mailserver without
MySQL support. No access to a database server. I have to convert the BLOBs
into plain text files รก la email.prev - how?

I know about the scripting, I only want to know how to make those binary
BLOBs readable by a human (me or rather the shell).

It might be a MySQL question but I already wanted to ask why the SM
developers chose to use BLOB instead of TEXT? It makes administrative
tasks as setting (and reading) full_name and email_address quite
difficult. Or did I miss a clue?

As you might already know I neither have experince with PHP nor with
binary data in databases and appreciate every hint to export my SM user
prefs to plain text files.
