           Summary: TAR or GZ should be options for attachment compressing
                    (additionally to ZIP)
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ralf at skolelinux.de


Version:           1.12.2 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-5.slh.2-sidux-686

For many cases, it is very handy to have an integrated compression option for
attachments (bravo!). But when I send files to Linux developers, they are not
happy with the ZIP format, especially when there is a set of many files to be
sent.

In such cases it could be handy
- to compress all marked attachments into a single ZIP archive
- to gzip those attachments (they will keep their name + .gz)
- to tar the whole lot (e.g. uncompressable PNGs).

Thanks.
