Blocked senders list deleting itself? HELP

[bonmur]

I have a bunch of addresses blocked in OE, hundreds, Just checked because I was rcving a bunch that I know I blocked...I looked and the list is completely empty, So I tested it and added some new ones, closed my email program, went back and it is empty again?
I am puzzled by this?

I could have sworn I posted a response to this one yesterday. Hmmmm... Well here it is again just in case.

This is stored in the registry and has probably become corrupted. Open regedit.exe and delete this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Block Senders

where GUID is the long number identifying your Identity. After rebuilding the list export that key so that you can restore it should it become corrupted again.
