MS Outlook Message Rules
I'm looking for a program that will read the RWZ file and list each rule.
I'd also accept the data layout of the RWZ file so I can write my own program.

I haven't searched the 'net yet so I don't know if such a program is out there. Give me a few days. If I can't find one, I'll write one for you for free.

OK, my preliminary research indicates it will be possible to do this, however the file format is rather complicated due the large number of rule types. It's going to take several months to figure out all the possibilities. Sorry. I'm going to pursue this just for my own satisfaction. I'll contact you when I'm done to see if you're still interested.

BTW, just out of curiousity, is there a reason you can't just use the Rules Wizard to look at the rules?

How do you know the data layout?
Where can you find that?
Well, the first thing I do is search the 'net. Then, if I can't find anything, I use a hex editor and several versions of the file in question to determine what changed, what remained the same, etc. Programmers and hackers have been using these techniques for decades when file formats are undocumented. Sometimes you can figure everything out, sometimes you can't.

The rules wizard is clumsy and takes time (have to page thru multiple screens to see the whole rule). Multiply that by the hundreds of rules I have, and that makes it virtually impossible to view each rule, let alone debug which rule is misbehaving.
I'm looking for something like this:
Viewing 325 rules that "Check when arrive":
### |------Name-----| Del Mov Cat Flag Stop
001 from @xxxxx.com Y
002 from Family Y Y
003 from TechRepublic Y Y Y
.
.
.
325 from @ibm.com Y Y Y
then if I could get the details of the rule by clicking on the Y's, WOW!
