[Coco] Importing CoCo Archive into Email Client

[N8WQ]

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium edition, service pack 1. However I 
also have Windows XP Professional edition on my other hard drive 
partition. I can also boot into Linux if I want via my thumb drive or my 
external usb drive. I have a Gentoo version of Linux on my thumb drive 
and Slax 6.0.9 on my external usb drive. I am not a Linux guru, still 
learning here...

Is there some type of viewer I could use to look at the CoCo Archive?
