Again, no clue as to OE as I've never used it. However, it appears that
OE 5 and above use .dbx file format. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook_Express

Some of these may, or may not help:

Good luck.

Once you do get that sorted out, it would be interesting to find out
why/how your OE messages became associated with OOo in the first place.
What is the file extension on the messages that you are trying to open?
