Short of capturing on vidoe what I see, I don't know how to convince you that
it *is* happening here.
Maybe your WinPoint is not activate to auto-unpack or something like that?
In Extras/Options/Automation, I have:
List updates = Automatic in Background

I found it, but not in my local OpenXP. For me, that Winpoint discussion
predated my introduction to OXP, so I looked in my Winpoint. Thankfully,
Winpoint automatically includes the msgid in its "text" searches!
In 4c1201309 the last sentence you wrote: "WinPoint's nodelist processor cannot
process packed nodelist/pointlist files, although it can process packed
nodediff/pointdiff files."
I hear ya. But I swear to you, simply dropping the packed nodelist
automatically unpacks here! I still have to Shift+Ctl+L or
"Fidonet/ProcessNodelist" manually for the new nodelist to update, however.
