.dbx (Outlook) signature and offset?

[BFD Deadeye]

Hi all. My wife's computer recently crashed. For reasons I can't go into here, we believe it was most likely a hack job. I was able to do an over the top reinstall of XP, but her Documents, contacts, and emails were gone (never had that happen before after dozens of over the top reinstalls). I tried using Easy Recovery Pro, and it found 99% of her stuff. That's great. But, for some reason, this program doesn't look for .dbx (Outlook mail) files. I can customize it, and add my own file extensions, but here's where it goes over my head. In order to add my own file extension, I have to give it two values: 1) the 'signature' of the .dbx, and 2) the 'offset' of same. I'm no programmer, and have had no luck googling aforementioned. The Outlook she was using was Outlook Express, version 6.0.

We really need those emails, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
