You can copy/paste if you remember to delete the whitespace that NS puts in
front of the pasted text; this can include a newline character. At worst, edit
the mailrule file with your favorite text editor and look for a wrapped
"condition=" line... remove the linewrap & unnecessary whitespace and save it.
No need to restart Netscape.
