Comment(by Derek Martin):
{{{
That's fine and dandy, but the HTTP protocol deals with them directly,
no need to treat them specially in terms of MIME. How HTTP treats
compression is not relevant to MIME processing of e-mail. MIME has
been embraced in many places, but its primary function is still to
tell e-mail clients how to handle MIME attachments according to RFC
2045 and its cousins. You can't break mail because someone later
decided that compression was an "encoding" rather than an "application
data type" in some other context...
