After I requested a big rescan I seemed to receive no mail more.
Then I found .zip files but not with .zip extension in my inbound.
I unzipped them and then the .pkt files were tossed.

How can I convince Winpoint to unzip self again in the future?

Perhaps you need to configure your winpoint to not just except files with an extension of WE[0-9] but WE[A-Z] as well...

Don't know where to configure that but if that is the problem I expect that tomorrow, a .th* day, the problem will be over.
We'll see.

If that is the problem it will only be over for the first ten files you receive that day and then the problem will be back.

Maybe Rinaldo Visscher of 2:280/464.110 will be able to help you, he is also using winpoint.

I also found this in the logs:

Happy Thursday!
For now the problem is over.
