You have to replace uncompressor with whatever tool is the right to
uncompress the format. Just like you have to use -z or -j depending on
gzip or bzip2 compression.
For a generic uncompressor the mailcap programs are probably best
suited for adopting it. E.g. add an action "dump" to run-mailcap that
outputs the uncompressed data.
