I have a message filter set up to block unwanted solicitations, which is now a few hundred items long. Is there a specific file where that filter is stored, so that I can review all senders whom I have blocked without scrolling through the "Filter Rules" dialog? Ideally, I would like to examine that file (not edit it) using a text editor.

Mine is in my account folder in the ImapMail folder of my profile. If you do not know where your profile is, use the Help menu > Troubleshooting information > about:profiles to see.
