convert pmailMsgs.cedb

I'm a Resco backup (v2.10) and have been unable to restore my phone from any recent backup. I have been able to view my messages using the PC application, but I can't export them.

Is anyone aware of any tool to convert the pmailMsgs.cedb file to CSV, plain text, or any other common database format? I really need my archived text messages (I'm involved in a high conflict divorce and there is a lot of damaging material in there that my wife has sent to me via SMS. My opinion is my children are at risk when left in her custody, but I can't prove that w/o evidence, and those text messages are the best that I have.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You say you can view them with your PC?
Can you just pull them up and hit print screen and print out the messages? You probably should have printouts of them anyway.
How are you able to view them?

I can view them by using RescoBackupUnpackTool.exe.

The main problem with printscreening is that messages to and from other parties, including my attorney, are also mixed in amongst those to and from the wife. My first backup was photographing every message. That's a cumbersome collection of files which does not have the problem of showing messages to and from other parties. It unfortunately shares a problem with printscreening; Neither is electronically searchable. There are literally 500+kb of messages she's sent, and at $500 an hour I would save a pretty penny if anyone could help me out. Even giving me the specs on the cedb format, so I can write my own tool to extract the needed data, would be a huge help.
