Thank you for pointing out the export option. I tried using the save-as
feature, but saving each email as a separate text file was the only way to
eliminate the encryption and is a hassle (100s-1000s of files instead of 1,
attachments are unassociated with the emails they came with). The export
option would allow me to process all of them at once into 1 file, maintaining
attachments. I just tried the export into pst option and yes, they were
still encrypted afterward. I will try the other export options.

If File -> Save As works to remove encryption, hopefully doing an export
will do the same on all the exported e-mails. However, exporting to a
..pst file is simply asking to create another copy of the same .pst that
you already have (but only containing the exported items). Don't export
to a .pst file. Export to a .csv file. You can then look at the
spread*** file in something like Excel.
