Subject: Compressing again

Message-ID: <m33eos9r0e.fsf@mouser.hedbor.org> (raw)


I have tried to figure out why using compressed nnml mails doesn't
work for me, but have failed. To make it possible to resolve it, I
have a few questions:

1) How does Gnus know that it should look for 111.gz instead of 111?
   All I can see jka-compr doing is decoding files called
   something.gz. If foo.gz doesn't exist, and you try to open foo,
   jka-compr doesn't open foo.gz for you. Do I have to set some
   variable or something?

2) Did everyone else who got it to work only "require" jka-compr
   (which does work) and compress files?

3) If I should try to figure out what's wrong, which file(s) and
   function(s) should I look in?
