: I use a package Kyle Jones (author of vm) wrote to automatically
: compress and decompress files.  It works much better than the
: uncompress that comes with emacs.
: crypt		  90-01-09
:      Kyle Jones, <kyle@wendy-fate.uu.net>
:      archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/misc/crypt.el.Z
:      Handle crypt/compress/compact files.

Thanks, this works nicely, except I notice one odd thing:  when I visit a
compressed folder I get a file-mode-specification error momentarily (it is
then immediately overwritten by the "Uncompressing..." message)
This is when I visit a file that is in VM-mode by virtue of my
auto-mode-alist, which ends with 
    (cons (concat "^" (expand-file-name "~/.*/mail")) 'vm-mode)
Other than that it seems to work fine, except that I end up looking at the
headers on the first message that are supposed to be invisible, so somehow
narrowing has not gotten done correctly for this first message.

Any clues about this odd interaction?

(this is VM 5.32 (beta), emacs 18.58, crypt version dated 9 Jan 90)
