If it's on paper it can be scanned and converted to text with OCR. From there
it can easily be cleaned up.
If the CDROM displays several emails addresses at a time for viewing,
printing off screen shots and then scanning them back in as described above
is the way to go. Or, worse off, you might be able to feed the screen shots
directly to the OCR package, no scanning required. :)
These same techniques were used to by pass all safe guards on some Microsoft
eBook software and convert the displayed content to plain text files, or so
I've read.
