   Ah, methinks I may have worded my post badly .....   
      
   What I should have said was that I thought I'd like to test the "Compress Mail   
   Packets" feature.   
      
    TS> You just need to add the proper command line to the existing ZIP   
    TS> configuration under packers.   
      
   I see one for PKZip but not for InfoZip so I've added one .....   
      
   Packer name: InfoZip   
   Kommandozeile Packen: zip -j   
   Kommandozeile Entpacken: Integrated UnZip    
      
   I then enabled "Compress Mail Packets" for one of my uplinks, wrote a message   
   and then "Sent" it. Instead of allowing WinPoint to automatically export the   
   message, I manually exported it so that I could check that the compressed mail   
   packet had been packed correctly. I expected to see a mail bundle in the   
   outbound with an extension of "we0" but I didn't, I saw a .pkt file, which is   
   an uncompressed mail packet. Perhaps I did something wrong?   
      
    TS> Signature is already there and only relevant for decompression anyway.   
      
   OK, noted.
