But that doesn't generate any additional MIME header that says that
the stuff is gzip compressed. I think that something should be
there. It's not Content-Transfer-Encoding, but some other header.
Sadly, I forget which one it is.
I sent myself a compressed postscript file, then ran `file %s |
xmessage -file -' as a viewer on it (using the `v' command on the MIME
part button), and, sure enough, it reported `gzip compressed data'.
Not useful.
If you try this yourself, don't use gv to check, because gv can
display *.ps.gz files directly.
