Revert my subscriptions?

Hi. A stupid hotel wifi access control scheme has overwritten a bunch of my subscription URLs. I presume it did this by deciding that I was not logged in and returning "Resource Moved" HTTP codes, which caused Vienna to update the URLs to point to the login page for the hotel wifi, rather than their actual locations.

I have a Time Machine backup from before I visited this particular hotel, so I'm hoping I can revert my Vienna subscriptions to their previous values. But what files should I restore?

Thanks!

You can restore the ~/Library/Application Support/Vienna folder (or only the ~/Library/Application Support/Vienna/messages.db file)

That worked, thanks!

In case anyone else has this same problem and finds this thread: if you want to use Time Machine to restore something from the hidden Library folder, you can use the Finder's Go menu with Option held down to view the Library, and if you then Open Time Machine, it will let you restore things from the Library folder.
