Subject: Reading, Saving, etc, with Compressed Folders

I like to compress (with gzip) my folders to save space. I was wondering
if Pine will be able (or is able) to save and read articles in compressed 
folders? If not I think it would be a handy additional utility for Pine.

There is not currently a compressed folder driver for Pine, but it should 
be a nice weekend project for a reasonably proficient programmer...  

A conpressed folder driver is frequently requested, but so far not by our
primary constituency, so it is not currently high on our priority list.  We
would be happy to include a contributed driver though...
