I just did that and the file was nicely decompressed by jka-compr before being attached and sent (still with the same tar.gz filename of course). I remember reading about the problem, but don't remember if a solution existed. -- [ Below is a random fortune, which is unrelated to the above message. ] Bloom's Seventh Law of Litigation: The judge's jokes are always funny. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Read The Fine Manual: C-h f auto-compression-mode (auto-compression-mode &optional ARG) Documentation: Toggle automatic file compression and uncompression. With prefix argument ARG, turn auto compression on if positive, else off.

It would be cool if Gnus used it in two situations: when attaching a file and when saving an attachment to disk. But, in the first case, you may want the file to be decompressed, so it would be nice to have an mml tag to indicate whether the file is to be decompressed or not (or maybe the filename to appear in the message, so that it gnus can guess whether it is to remain compressed or not). Same for saving a .gz attachment: it's quite annoying to have to uncompress a file twice :-( -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~oliva IC-Unicamp, Bra[sz]il oliva@{dcc.unicamp.br,guarana.{org,com}} aoliva@{acm.org,computer.org} oliva@{gnu.org,kaffe.org,{egcs,sourceware}.cygnus.com,samba.org} ** I may forward mail about projects to mailing lists; please use them ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
