   As far as I remember the following issues have been *already adressed*:

   These issues are *on my list*:

   These items are *by design* and will not be adressed:   
      
    AA> [o] external editor option: no   
      
   I *cannot reproduce* (or simply dont understand) these issues:   
      
    AA> [o] when forwarding a post to another echo/area, the Extra/Options/

    AA> [o] when replying to a message (echo or netmail) templates   
    AA> (headers/footers) do not get applied.   
                                                                  
   And then there are *those issues* ... where after (for some of the code) 25   
   years my memory is getting in the way:   
      
    AA> [o] received nodelists need manual intervention to \WinpointNL directory   
      
   Actually, WP95 was able to do fully automatic processing of incoming nodelist,   
   nodediffs etc. I know it because me and everbody I know was using it for at   
   least a decade. However, nowadays, it seems like the step the decompresses the   
   incoming files into the proper directory is missing. I think I recall that for   
   this, earlier WP versions where having a feature called "automatic unpack   
   jobs" that could be employed to decompress incoming files from file areas to   
   the nodelist directories (where the presence of the files triggered the actual   
   processing). However, it seems to be gone and I have to figure out why.   
      
   Another disturbing thing is that Winpoint still has the option to do automated   
   postings to a mailing list (i.e., a list of users). However, the GUI for   
   managing these lists seems to be gone. Will investigate that later.
