Uncompression is done to contents of the file inserted in a
buffer, not to the file itself. The purpose is to examine the
charset and put it in the MIME header if it is possible. It
might be useful for the recipients to decode the part and
display it as text. However, I realized it is meaningless to do
that for tar files.
I've fixed it in the Gnus CVS trunk. Thanks.
