Yay for you -- but you really shouldn't be gzipping active delivery
folders.

You have to run the email through a compress program, such as gzip (in
much the same way that you pipe through formail to mush it around), and
then append the output to your folder. The key here is locking; it's
entirely possible that you'll have two procmail processes trying to
append to the same file at once, and the best that that could be is bad.

% Maybe ask on the procmail list....
That's a good idea, too:-)
