Entourage Note -> Structured Text?

Hi Applescripters,

I'm interested in converting my Entourage notes into structured text files.
The latter are plain text with poor-man's markup like *italics*, **bold**,
and _underline_, et cetera. Many zope products can present these as pretty
HTML, while allowing you to edit something which is more readable by humans.

The trouble I'm having is that if I just take the content attribute of a
note in Entourage, I get none of the style information. If I get the
content of a note as record, I see

{+class form;:id, +class want;:note, +class seld;:118, from:application
"Microsoft Entourage"}

The Applescript TDG mentions that styled text is hard to detect and even
harder to work with. Does that mean this is impossible or do I need to go
the VB route?

Clues are appreciated. Thanks!
