This patch really isn't particular to compression; it creates hooks for commands to execute before opening and after closing a folder. The default hooks are for compression of an mbox file, but it seems you could reset them as a tar+gz command instead, and store your maildir as a compressed tarball. (You could also compress each message within, but I'd personally favor the tarball.) It's just a matter of writing the correct open/close hooks. One of these days I'm going to get around to using it for encrypting certain folders. -- -D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] NSIT University of Chicago
