> So shouldn't jka-compr look for the magic strings, and identify > gzipped files that way? jka-compr uses a file-name-handler which (as the name indicates) works at the file-name level to detect the need for special behavior. So what you're suggesting is a different feature, which works more like a special major mode. That might make a lot of sense. Contributions welcome. Note that a major-mode would also have some disadvantages: e.g. when saving a file to some new name ".sifz" Emacs wouldn't know to compress it. Stefan
