I thought about the symlink option but I often leave both copies running 
and I'd hate for there to be a collision on read/write and have the 
whole thing get borked. Hopefully we can get an official solution.

Until then, I'll continue playing with the plist files. I was able to 
move new rules I created for All Messages from one computer to another 
-- quit MailMate first, then make the changes. They came over 
successfully. I think smaller changes are better, especially if I have 
to deal with UUIDs.

Thanks, Jim
