I've mentioned before that finding a rule that acted on a message can be
quite frustrating, and I've sung the praises for the old Mac Eudora's
feature that allowed one to select one or more messages and then see the
rules that would operate on them. Mac Eudora had a menu item that
showed all rules, allowed editing/copying/deleting them. Holding down a
bucky bit (I think it was "option") when clicking this menu item with
one or more messages selected opened the window and highlighted the
rules that matched the selected message(s). Super handy.

You can open it with TextEdit and search for “rule”. Probably
safest to do this when MailMate is not running, or make a copy of
the file to play around with.
Yes, I worked that out. Looks like it's a form of JSON, so I can
probably write something to work with it. I can sort of understand
why it's not accessible in another way from within MailMate but I
think it could be useful to see filters / rules together.
I wasn’t thinking you would do any serious editing in TextEdit. This
will allow you to find the location of the rule, after which you can
go back to editing it inside MailMate as usual.
