Working with Mac Mail Rules

[bobstilger]

A wonderful poductivity app -- Omni Focus, has caused me to Abandon Entourage. I'm loving MacMail, especially after having discovered MailSteward for archiving. But I've got one problem.

I use rules a lot. But I can't figure out how to alphabetize the rules I have so I can edit them. Is there some way to do this???

Not in the standard mail preferences pane, apparently. I don't think I've seen anything about alphabetizing them in the past; they stay in the order in which they are created.

Yeah, I couldn't find anything helpful there either. I can drag and drop them manually. The other thing I thought about was exporting them, alphabetizing them and importing -- but I can't find anyway to do that either.

Seems like this would be a simple and useful feature -- buy perhaps others don't make extensive use of rules...

It would be useful, I'm just not sure how many people would actually take advantage of it.
