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.

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"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{9D6866BB-C363-4EE6-9533-731DA1D20762}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook

"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.

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.

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.
