How about at least turning off jka-compr when the Content-Type is
application/x-gzip or the filename specified in the Content-Disposition ends
with ".gz"? You can do the same for uuencoded attachments where the filename
ends with ".gz" as well. That should catch just about all cases where the
problem arises.
