for Mac and an equivalent (referred to in the above) for Windows but it's not simple at all.
As SuperJonJon says, you can import a CSV file into Excel - I think that will work for multi-page PMs but you lost the formatting (e.g. quotes, bold, italics etc) which will just show the BBcode. If that's not a problem, then you can import into Excel or (if you want to access it without Excel) then I think importing into Google Docs will also work.
(For me but for others YMMV, I'm happy with the PM storage which I have on SQT, FT etc and archive by exporting to TXT, CSV and XML and saving all the files on my laptop. One day there may be a program which will break down the PMs again but in the meantime, my search tools are grep, vi etc. I don't mind not having online access to archived PMs.)
