Creating Outlook Views using XML

I have a number of Outlook views which I extracted from an Outlook folder.
The Views had been created using standard GUI methods.

When I load the View into a new folder and look at the filter, its display
the filter in DASL but when I created the View this certainly was not the
case.

Any idea what is going on here and how I can get it to work as a normal
filter?

Thanks.

Yes, I realize that

I have Outlook 2003 installed and using the Outlook GUI I created a view
with a filter.

I copy the xml for the view to a file.

I created a new Folder and loaded the xml from the file

I looked at the view in the new folder and the filter is built using DASL.

Setting the <filter> element with View.XML works only in Outlook 2002 SP2 or
later.

And it bears no resemblance to the filter you set with the GUI? Or it's the
same, but done directly with DASL? If the latter, that makes perfect sense
to me, since you're setting the view filter with DASL in the XML.

The filter is the same, its just that its done in DASL which is a pain as
far as the average user is concerned if they want to modify it later.

But if its too be expected, then I guess at least I know I'm not doing
anything strange.
