Bug Description

Binary package hint: mutt

It would be nice if mutt supported lzma-compressed mbox folders. Adding two lines to /etc/Muttrc.d/compressed-folders.rc should do it:

open-hook \\.lzma$ "lzma -cd '%f' > '%t'"

close-hook \\.lzma$ "lzma -c '%t' > '%f'"

It seems like lzma doesn't support appending to archives like gzip and bzip2 do, but if there's a way to do that, an append-hook could be added as well.

Sounds like a reasonable request, although I would suggest adding the lines to /etc/Muttrc.d/compressed-folders.rc instead.
