Sounds good, although maybe with different default behaviors
according to archive types. What I mean is that there's a difference
between:
- you attach a PDF but the guy gets a winmail.dat archive,
and
- you attach a tar.gz and the guy gets... a tar.gz.
So while it makes perfect sense to automatically decipher winmail.dat
attachments (because they were never intentional), I'm not sure I will
ever want to see the contents of a tar file displayed inline in my
article buffer.
However, a keystroke for automatically decompressing and extracting
somewhere in the file system would be neat :-)
