- From jka-aux.el:

;;;I have been distributing a package called jka-compr, which adds file
;;;compression to the low-level I/O functions in emacs.  Beginning with
;;;version 19.23, jka-compr became part of the standard lisp library.
;;;However, some eatures were taken out because they might not be
;;;considered desirable by all users.  Specifically, the 19.23 version of
;;;jka-compr will not search for a file called "foo.gz" if you do a
;;;find-file on "foo."  If you were fond of some of the features that are
;;;not present in the 19.23 version of jka-compr, you can use the
;;;following package (cryptically named jka-aux.el), which implements all
;;;those features.

All of the transparancies are in jka-aux, so you'll need to get that, too.
Hmmm... ohio-state is not letting me retrieve the LISPDIR file so I cannot
provide a pointer at this time.

You may or may not need to edit nnfolder.el; I suspect you will as some
edits are necessary in nnml.el (which I use) to make things like expire and
move work.  Any regular expression that points to a file name will need to
be edited to include your compression extension(s).  nnml.el is easy; I use
a simple script to do it for me:

  #!/bin/sh
  if test -f x-easymenu.el; then
    mv x-easymenu.el easymenu.el
  fi
  cp nnml.el nnml.el.orig
  cat nnml.el.orig | sed 's/\[0-9\]+/\[0-9\]+\\\\(\\\\.gz\\\\)?/g' > nnml.el

nnfolder.el may or may not be more cumbersome.
