For PFC files, I've had some luck with this Java app:

  http://members.aol.com/pfcviewer/

It's distributed under the MIT license (look at the FAQ page for
source).

In my experience, this app will show the contents of the emails in the
GUI fine, but the export functionality bailed out halfway through the
file. Still useful for quick and dirty jobs though. (And you can always
take the time to fix the Null pointer exception...)

HTH,
