Package: emacs19, emacs20
Version: 19.34-15, 20.2-6
The tar-mode in both current emacs19 and emacs20 is ill-behaved
regarding compressed files. I only make 1 bug-report, as finding a
fix for one will most probably give a fix for the other.
When browsing through a tar-file that contains compressed manpages,
for example, it does not uncompress the gzipped data, and thus
displays the binary data, but switches to nroff-mode !
I agree that nroff-mode sould be called, but I think the file should
be uncompressed first.

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it affected emacs21, and the current
version is 23. If you still encounter this problem, please feel free to
re-open it and move it to the appropriate package, or ask me to do it.
