Unless something has changed, it's not necessary to "uncompact" the
folder...
These SM "folders" are actually files that can be opened with a text
editor.
close sm before opening them with a text editor, and, if possible, open
the file "read only" (which is an option in many text editors such as
TextPad)
you can then search the file contents for something in the message or
header, then copy the message and paste and access it elsewhere.
If the file has an attachment, it will be in mime format and follow the
message header and message text. The mime can be copied to a new text
file, saved and then decoded with a utility such as uuDeview
Hope that this information is of value.
Yes ... but not an easy way :-)
