If there attachments ,just save them to your hd and copy to cd.
If there not attachments ,I've not found a way to do that.

all of your outlook express data files are dbx extensions. have outlook express closed and here is how you can copy to dvd. now these will not be viewable until you copy them back to a pc with outlook express on them.

c:\documents and settings\[user name]\local settings\application data\identities\{randomly generated folder name mine for example is[{5264671B-C73A-4A6A-9AAD-1E5A2F2B1A05}]} \microsoft\outlook express

here you will find the dbx files and you can burn to a disk for archiving or copy to another pc.

you will need to enable show hidden files and show operating system files under folder options to see the local settings folder or you can do a search for *.dbx to find them

personally i would recommend importing this into microsoft outlook and then copying and pasting the messages from the folders into other folders or exporting to a pst file.
