pst

I have a 450 meg .pst file (MS Outlook 2003 backup file) saved from a PC before it crashed.

I would like to break it up into its components i.e.

Save attachments to folders on my PC
Paste text-emails into a word processor, etc.

But I don't want to buy MS Office Professional 2003 or later solely for importing the .pst into MS Outlook 2003+. Outlook Express cannot import .pst files, only Outlook “proper” can.

Is there some free email client out there, e.g. Thunderbird, that can import .pst files?

Or is there some other way to access the 450meg file?
