Either install ActiveState Perl in your local box and use that to parse 
each email into a comma separated file. Or use VBS to parse (much less 
elegant regex). Once you have a CSV file you can shove into your db much 
faster.

Depending upon your DB, you could use Perl/PHP/VBS/.Net to parse and shove 
into the DB in one pass.
