Hi!
Wouldn't that be a good idea? I just converted my mail stuff from
nnfolder to nnml but I want to keep the archived mail in gzipped
nnfolder format. I definitely do not want long file names for nnml
(for various reasons) but need them for nnfolder zipping to work.
And it would be even more cool to have a server parameter for
forcing compressed storage of all messages.
See this article for nnml gzipped storage:

Difficult?
Cheers, Ray

Well, compressing files is something that I'd think you'd want to do
in a batch-oriented fashion since it can be quite time consuming.
That is, you get a gazillion nnml files, and then when you run low on
disk space, you just say "gzip *" in the directory.
So I don't know whether this would be all that useful.

It seems that there are a number of people around who want to tell
Gnus "compress this group", and from then on all messages in that
group should be gzipped (or whatever).

They might think they want it, but do they really want this after
they've suffered the performance hit? :-)

That's why I want it for my archive groups only. And Gnus users were
never crazy about performance anyway...
