Overview
The America Online software stores email and web bookmarks (also known as "favorites") in a file known as the PFC (Personal Filing Cabinet) format. The format is different between Mac and PC versions apparently. The extension is either .pfc or nothing- see here for some details on the extension.
Tools
PFC-Viewer Java tool that can view and export emails from Personal Filing Cabinets. Source code available here: https://github.com/ernieyu/pfcviewer or here: http://home.roadrunner.com/~ernieyu/pfcviewer/pfcview-0.5-src.jar
