Hi. You can export the SMS's with the tool SMSImport. This tool lets you save the messages to a *.xml. These files you can easily open with Notepad on your PC and save them as *.txt e.g.
Cheers.

You just have to put the program to your phone and click then "export...". Then you can select a place on your phone where you want to save your exported *.xml (only one file for all messages).

Did it work? Or just get a trail version of Jeyo Mobile Companion (google that) and you even can watch all the messages both of you wrote in a chat window. That is pretty and easy at the same time. Just a little hint...

To bring some structure in the *.xml you can open the file with Excel.
