Eudora mailbox TOC corruption - file too big and it crashes

Hello:

As a disclaimer, I have always told my faculty to keep the number of
messages in their INBOX to a manageable level. They don't always
listen to me...

Anyway, one of my users let his INBOX get to about 32,000+ messages
(278 MB). Of course, he now experienced a TOC corruption and Eudora
always tries to rebuild it and after it tries, it quits. I managed
to rename the mailbox and get him up and running again, but every
time we try to access it, it tries and quits. Any ideas of how to
access the file at least to view the messages in any form so he can
get what information he needs? Thanks.
