Please be more specific about the version numbers. Gnus 5.10.8 (the one you are using now) has been released on 2006-04-11. So I don't know what other (older) version you mean. In No Gnus, the development version there is `nnml-compressed-files-size-threshold' and `nnml-use-compressed-files' allows to specify a different compression program beside gzip: ,----[ (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 compression program. You can set it to | `.bz2' if your Emacs supports it. A value of `t' is equivalent to | `.gz'. | | `nnml-compressed-files-size-threshold' | Default size threshold for compressed message files. Message | files with bodies larger than that many characters will be | automatically compressed if `nnml-use-compressed-files' is | non-`nil'. `---- The feature (nnml-use-compressed-files) was introduced on 2002-01-26 (Oort Gnus 0.06) i.e. before 5.10. > Visiting these emails showed up as a "file not found".
