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. -- -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question |

I don't know of any program to export in a /readable/ format, but the method
here will backup & restore rules and Blocked Senders to another machine, or the current one if you need to reformat.

Bruce,
I don't understand your comment about not knowing of a program to export in a readable format. Reg files are text files and can be read in any program that will read text documents. Simple text programs need to be used, so that the reg files are not corrupted with extra formatting. Your link tells how to read and edit the reg files. -- Ronald Sommer "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Reg files are text files and can be read in any program that will read text documents. Simple text programs need to be used, so that the reg files are not corrupted with extra formatting. Your link tells how to read and edit the reg files. Ever try to read a registry file? I can read English, and a little Spanish, German, and Japanese. I *can't* read 'C', or 'Registry'; well, not easily. This is my registry entry for a rule I created in MSOE 6: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{9D6866BB-C363-4EE6-9533-731DA1D20762}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail\000] "Name"="E-Mail Tests" "Enabled"=dword:00000001 "Version"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{9D6866BB-C363-4EE6-9533-731DA1D20762}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail\000\Actions] "Order"="000" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{9D6866BB-C363-4EE6-9533-731DA1D20762}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail\000\Actions\000] "Type"=dword:00000006 "Flags"=dword:00000000 "ValueType"=dword:00000041 "Value"=hex:28,f8,f6,82,d0,26,c7,01,31,00,00,0 0 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{9D6866BB-C363-4EE6-9533-731DA1D20762}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail\000\Criteria] "Order"="000" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{9D6866BB-C363-4EE6-9533-731DA1D20762}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Rules\Mail\000\Criteria\000] "Type"=dword:00000008 "Logic"=dword:00000000 "Flags"=dword:00000000 "ValueType"=dword:00000041 "Value"=hex:5b,54,45,53,54,5d,00,00,00 All of that, clear as mud, for just one rule. And just try to edit that rule, even with Notepad (which I used for the copy/paste operation). OP wants something like this: Subscriptions If header "F" contains " Move "41606FA:0404:FOL01158" If header "F" contains " Move "1DAECC08:7797:FOL04A5B" If header "F" contains "FamilyTreeMaker" Move "0ADA6AEC:79C1:FOL07FAC" If header "F" contains " Move "0ADA6AEC:79C1:FOL07FAC" If header "F" contains "Ancestry Weekly Digest" Move "0ADA6AEC:79C1:FOL07FAC" If header "F" contains " Move "0ADA6AEC:79C1:FOL07FAC" If header "F" contains " Move "219581AA:7A06:FOL0676F" If header "F" contains "Rand McNally" Move "590AE91D:6510:FOL03761" If header "F" contains "MapQuest" Move "590AE91D:6510:FOL03761" That is a rules file from Pegasus Mail. Easily read, easily edited, easily exported to another Pegasus Mail identity, or installation. It is just a text file in the PM identity folder. You got it buddy! Except my target is Thunderbird. -- -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question |

You can export the rules from the Registry and open and edit them in
Notepad. -- Ronald Sommer "GbH" wrote in message ... Hi guys, I've asked this and similar things in the past but have always landed up with nil points.

Ron Sommer wibbled : 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. "GbH" wrote in message ...
