I think I did.

Luckily I have a couple of renamed BWAVE386.EXE & BWAVE386.CFG files 
so I can swap and run multiple Bluewaves at once. 
When you rename the CFG, you have to use a hex editer and change the 
name inside the EXE also, so it won't go after the original CFG and 
mess up the settings in it. 

Anyway: 

Setup/Configure Mail Reader 
Global 
Mail Packet Options 
 Packet list sort field         Root Name
 Display archiver output        Yes
 Pack replies at reader exit    No
 Open reply warning at startup  Yes
 Build QWK index files          Always
 Automatic bulletin display     No
 Automatic packet rename        Yes
 Option menu at packet close    No
 +-- Auto save pkt bookmarks    Yes

I think your setup has that last line set to "No". 


"Pack replies at reader exit" is set to "No" so they
"Pack" at 
Packet exit. 
If you have a couple of different BBS packets to read, the reply 
packet for each will Pack when its' message packet is exited, 
rather then waiting until you Exit BlueWave. 
Each BBS has its' own reply packet. 

As before, do an "F1" on each line to get a detailed explanation. 


How are you EXITing from BlueWave ? 

If you are using Alt-X, switch to the Esc key. 


Is your ZIP compression done by ZIP.EXE or PKZIP.EXE ? 

Archivers
ZIP Compression   C:\BWAVE\BWPACK.BAT {at}F {at}I

_Nothing_ between BAT and {at}F (except a single spacebar)
The {at}F {at}I are required, the %1 %2 inside the BAT reference them.
