Remove All Blocked Senders in Windows Mail or Outlook

If you have used Windows Mail or Outlook Express you have probably blocked a number of senders and domains. What if you want to start anew and delete all the blocks you have set?

Sure, you can go through the list and remove one entry at a time. Or you delete them all at once.
