You won't loose anything if you use jka-compr, but if you're using nnml
or nnmh you will have problems because the backends operate on file
names in buffers and not directly with the filesystem, so jka-compr's
hooks never come into play and your compressed mail files don't appear
as mail files.

This little script (hack! hack!) will modify filename references in
nnml.el so that most functions will work with jka-compr. cd to the lisp
directory and run the script before you run make.
gnus-summary-prev-article still won't work if you attempt to extend the
summary buffer, though, nor will gnus-summary-refer-parent-article.

#!/bin/sh

if test -f x-easymenu.el; then
  mv x-easymenu.el easymenu.el
fi

cp nnml.el nnml.el.orig
cat nnml.el.orig | sed 's/\[0-9\]+/\[0-9\]+\\\\(\\\\.gz\\\\)?/g' > nnml.el
