Alas, then I lose the notion that the file is actually text/csv.  For

By using whatever heuristics it uses for such a file on disk (including
the filename extension), I would imagine.  Suboptimal, but lacking
a compression standard for email-MIME, it is probably the best you can do.

(At least, I couldn't find any mention of a standard for compression
other than a note about its non-existence in the rather old comp.mail.mime
FAQ.)
