   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 "Fi   
   onet/ProcessNodelist" manually for the new nodelist to update, however.
