I made a test between gzip and bzip for compressing mailinglist archives. Bzip is 20% better than gzip. E.g. if you have 500MB gzip'd mails, bzip would only need 400MB. uncompressed 22246042 Bytes gzip 5325479 Bytes bzip 4152802 Bytes -- Wolfram Schneider <wosch@apfel.de> http://www.apfel.de/~wosch/
