I was wondering if anyone has ever tried the following:

I would like to compress all my folders in ~/Mail, with zip or gzip or
compress or whatever.  Then, when I operate on them from within mh-e,
I would like them to uncompress and then compress again, if necessary.

Does this make sense?  I think I'll need crypt++.el as well as some
mods to the basic code for mh-e and gnus...

Thanks!
Jack.
