Help...not life or death..but would like to recover some files.

I use Outlook express to read my Hotmail. I deleted a bunch a bulk mail, then emptied the deleted items folder. Now I want to get back the deleted items. I used NOrton Protected recycle bin and got the folders in that list...but Norton couldn't restore them to their original spot. I restored them to my desktop and tried an import into both Outlook and Outlook express, without success. I used MS Excel to open the .dbx folders and was able to capture the text of the messages.

Is there anyway to get back the form of the messages???

Thanks in advance for your help.

NO
Hotmail is HTTP mail, not like any other form POP3 or so.
