Just a question...why not get Ethereal...it is freeware, works great,
and keeps track of all sessions for you.  It is easy to use and does a
really nice job.  I don't know about exporting the data though.

I do.

So do I.
 
It *won't* export the word attachment.  At best, it can reassemble the
data streams on both sides of a TCP conversation and let you save one
side, the other side, or both sides to a file; extracting attachments
from mail, or extracting the file from an HTTP GET transaction, is left
as an exercise for the user.

I agree with Guy. 

I reckon I know how to do it, and I reckon Guy knows how 
to do it as well, but we both have day jobs, and we work on Ethereal and 
other things outside of our day jobs!
