Then it does indeed seem to be unique to your setup, so probably
something to do with the use of OMX with BW.

In a typical BW setup, an open REP packet isn't available to be sent, or
any of the messages within it.  On my computer, if it is open, it
doesn't even show up in the directory (when I shell out to DOS and do a
ls or dir).

If I re-opened a sent REP packet, and then proceded to add to it, then
when it was closed, it would include the old ones still.  But usually
the BBS catches that and rejects those as dupes.  In your case, though,
you aren't uploading to a BBS, so that check isn't there.
