Reading Outlook Files

[The Magnet]

Ok, here is a good one:

At my work there are scheduled Unix jobs which perform some counts on
data in our Oracle database, create an email, and send it to users
with the data files attached. No problem there. Been doing this for
2 years.

Now, they want a total count by month. Not possible using the
database as all the data has changed. So, they send me 2 years of
Outlook files.

Can this be done? Can I somehow extract the attached .csv file so I
can count it?? I do not want to open 2 years of daily emails.
