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
number of rules, and he is, of course, having problems. It would be
helpful to have the rules in a separate file to review. Scrolling through
them while connected with pcAnywhere is a royal pain.

They can be exported as a REG file and read with WordPad, but you'll
probably find that harder to deal with because it will not be laid out
nicely as in reading them in OE and each rule has an entry under criteria
and another under action. I don't recommend it, especially not trying to
delete a rule that way.

They are in the Registry. Export this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook
Express\5.0\Rules
