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.

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?

OK, noted.
