You can export the rules and open in WordPad, but a lot of it is gibberish
and they can't be modified the

I'm not sure why reading them where they are is a problem. You mention being

Is there a way to export the message rules so that they can be read, if
not modified, outside of Outlook Express? A friend has an extremely large

helpful to have the rules in a separate file to review. Scrolling through
them while connected with pcAnywhere is a royal pain.
