Agreed.  We did encounter a problem with a zip file in the SpamBayes group
recently which we believe (though haven't confirmed - the OP has apparently
gone underground) was related to WinZip problems.  As I understand it, if
you set an option in WinZip to "flatten" a zip file, all future zip files
are also flattened.  I guess it's a case of setting that option then poking
the "Save Options" or "OK" button, then forgetting that other zip files will
have structure which shouldn't be eliminated.
