You can export the rules from the Registry and open and edit them in
Notepad.

Indeed you can, but they are close to gibberish, hence my request for
readable/usable format.
Contrary to popular belief I don't read gibberish, nor barcode, come
to that.

Hi guys,
I've asked this and similar things in the past but have always
landed up with nil points.
Is there anything about that will export mail rules from OE6 into a
readable/usable text format.
I know of Brian Murphy's editor but unfortunately my rules
generally have 1 criterion.

For those who offered assistance, I never did find a way of
importing my blocked senders list, it is/was corrupted in some way.
I had to rebuild it.

And Thanks Bruce, I have used that sequence in the past, indeed it was
with that I mysteriously failed to reload my blocked senders list.
I had hoped by now someone had constructed a transmogrifier that read
reistry and produced human readable text.
Seemingly not.
OK a suplementary question: anywhere is there a crib sheet showing what
means what in 'Rules' some of it is obvious other bits passeth all
understanding.

Ron obviously knows something more about this than I do. I just get text
