- I just did a du of my bcc folder today and discovered how huge it
- hasbecome over the past 3 years (surprise, surprise!), and I got an idea
- that Iwould like to pursue:
-
- Suppose I were to compress some of the files in my bcc folder. Wouldn't
- it benice if messages would recognize the .Z extension and pipe it
- throughuncompress automagically so I can stil read the messages. Anyone
- know where Ishould start looking, or is the file open code spread all
- over AMS?
