I fear that there are still some bugs or inconsistencies in this code
(that's why Thomas Roessler didn't include it into the Mutt distribution
yet).

You should not use this patch for incoming mail folders, but only for
archive folders, because there is no mechanism yet to synchronize or
merge the (temporary) uncompressed folder (which is created while you
read the messages in this folder) and the compressed folder where new
incoming mail would be appended. This implies, that if you read a
compressed folder with Mutt while some other process (either another
Mutt process or a mail delivery agent like procmail) writes to this
folder, the new mail will be lost. So be careful!
