In Excel's import wizard you'd specify it as a delimited data format, delimited by the ; semicolon character.
The resulting spreadsheet is messy, unthreaded, and so on, but all the data would be there and searchable.
It's possible that PIM Backup would be less prone to choking from SMS quantity and otherwise.
Merely a solution, I expect better.
