I need to retrieve the email addresses from the AutoComplete feature in Outlook 2003

Rather than saving my email addresses as actual entries in an address book, I have relied upon the AutoComplete feature. Can I retrieve these addresses?

    In Outlook 2003, the AutoComplete addresses are saved in a file referred to as the “NK2” file. This file is stored under [Your Profile]\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook , and it is saved as the profile name of Outlook with .NK2 extension. This file may be accessed/edited using the following utility:

    Newer Versions of Outlook use a feature called, “Suggested Contacts” found in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache.
