Correction: nnir.el isn't synced with Emacs up to now, see below.

In the development version (No Gnus) we have:

,----[ (info "(gnus)No Gnus") ]
|         * The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside
|           `gzip' for compressed message files.  *Note Mail Spool::.
`----

,----[ (info "(gnus)Mail Spool") ]
| `nnml-use-compressed-files'
|      If non-`nil', `nnml' will allow using compressed message files.
|      This requires `auto-compression-mode' to be enabled (*note
|      Compressed Files: (emacs)Compressed Files.).  If the value of
|      `nnml-use-compressed-files' is a string, it is used as the file
|      extension specifying the comression program.  You can set it to
|      `.bz2' if your Emacs supports it.  A value of `t' is equivalent to
|      `.gz'.

Bye, Reiner.
