    Using OE, how can I bulk-add a large list of keywords to a filter / rule? I have a friend who is getting a lot of **** and when I looked into making a keyword based filter, all I could find was an option to add keywords one at a time. I would rather make a CSV (*.txt) list of the target words and paste them all in one go, rather than using the default "one at a time" approach, which is kind of awkward considering the amount of nasty words we want to block.
    ...I don't mind manually editing OE "rules" files if I have to (e.g: hexedit) but I can't even find where they are stored in the computer at this point.

    If you feed the 'add a word' box something like
    'alpha' or 'bravo' or gamma' or 'delta'
    all of those will be added. Copy/paste works fine to add a string.

    I think I tried that (I don't have Windows here at home - use Linux since years ago now) and I'm pretty sure it just stuck double quotes around the lot making it all one string.

    I use Outlook but before I posted that suggestion I fired up OE at home on XP-pro and tried a couple of things. That one seemed to work.

    Can't promise but it did leave me with a 'message body' rule looking as I expected it to look.
