Partial backup of Outlook Express messages

I am a very sad person or, in the words of Bill gates, I have a "documented life".
Still, I have messages on my OE dating back to 1996(!)
I'd like to archive all messages before, say, 2004 so that they are retrievable but do not show up on the live OE I use every day. How do I do that?

many thanks.

As BillDL says, the three of you have produced quite a variety of helpful suggestions for me. many thanks for that. I am not absolutely sure which I will use but I will split the points between you as that is the fairest response. And this info will be, I am sure, helpful later...

Thank you Peter.  I'm glad the suggestions were useful or insightful.  No harm in trying all the suggestions to create separate and different archives. Now how are you going to "document" these suggestions for later reference?  ;-)
