+<title>Compressed folders Support (OPTIONAL)</title>
+
+<para>
+If Mutt was compiled with compressed folders support (by running the
+<emphasis>configure</emphasis> script with the
+<emphasis>--enable-compressed</emphasis> flag), Mutt can open folders
+stored in an arbitrary format, provided that the user has a script to
+convert from/to this format to one of the accepted.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The most common use is to open compressed archived folders e.g. with
+gzip.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In addition, the user can provide a script that gets a folder in an
+accepted format and appends its context to the folder in the
+user-defined format, which may be faster than converting the entire
+folder to the accepted format, appending to it and converting back to
+the user-defined format.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There are three hooks defined
+(<link linkend="open-hook">open-hook</link>,
+<link linkend="close-hook">close-hook</link> and
+<link linkend="append-hook">append-hook</link>) which define commands
+to uncompress and compress a folder and to append messages to an
+existing compressed folder respectively.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For example:
+
+<screen>
+open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t" 
+close-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f"
+append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f" 
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You do not have to specify all of the commands. If you omit
+<link linkend="append-hook">append-hook</link>, the folder will be open
+and closed again each time you will add to it. If you omit
+<link linkend="close-hook">close-hook</link> (or give empty command),
+the folder will be open in the  mode. If you specify
+<link linkend="append-hook">append-hook</link> though you'll be able to
+append to the folder.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Note that Mutt will only try to use hooks if the file is not in one of
+the accepted formats. In particular, if the file is empty, mutt
+supposes it is not compressed. This is important because it allows the
+use of programs that do not have well defined extensions. Just use
+``.'' as a regexp. But this may be surprising if your compressing
+script produces empty files. In this situation, unset
+<link linkend="save-empty">&dollar;save&lowbar;empty</link>, so that
+the compressed file will be removed if you delete all of the messages.

+&percnt;f and &percnt;t can be repeated any number of times in the

+The compressed folders support can also be used to handle encrypted

+open-hook  \\.pgp$ "pgp -f &lt; %f &gt; %t"
+close-hook \\.pgp$ "pgp -fe YourPgpUserIdOrKeyId &lt; %t &gt; %f"
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Please note, that PGP does not support appending to an encrypted
+folder, so there is no append-hook defined.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<emphasis role="bold">Note:</emphasis> the folder is temporary stored
+decrypted in the /tmp directory, where it can be read by your system
+administrator. So think about the security aspects of this.
