Can I extract the saved emails from the "To" field?

I am working with a client of mine who just bought a new computer. She
often, instead of saving people into the address book, just took
advantage of the fact that outlook would autocomplete peoples' email
addresses. So I've saved her Contacts, but that's not the important
information to her, and I have no way (that I can see) of exporting the
autocomplete names. I can't even get a google search that tells me
anything helpful - can't even really figure out what to ask to get it
to understand my task. Figured this would be a good place to start,
thanks for any help!

The Autocomplete is contained in a file with the extension *.nk2

How about looking for "export autocompletion"? Finds a lot of references
for me. Here's a free autocompletion caches exporter: http://www.nk2.info/
