export mail rules?

[AB]

I read that I can backup the registry portion of my mail rules by going to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail
and that this will supposedly be able to be imported back in to the reigstry
if I lose my entries. I looked at the registry editor there and it must be
in code as, though I see the name of the rule, I cannot see the email
addresses I entered.

I would like to have an actual list of the email addresses I put into these
rules.

In XP someone wrote an Excel macro (see reference below) that would read out
the entries and put them on a page where I could see them and edit them and
rewrite them to the registry after editing. Is there a Vista macro for
Windows mail that would give me the same function?

I'd like to be able to export them, too, in a form that other Vista users
could import as needed, and also in a way that I could add the editting
functions Microsoft decided not to provide, and not only for email
rules but for newsgroups rules also. However, I was only able to find
references to ways of exporting them from the registry, but not in a
form that any program I know of can understand.
