Documentation about how to use the compressed folder support is given
in detail in the manual.txt file which should be in
/usr/share/doc/mutt-x.xx/ which came with the rpm. Anyway, I'll put it
in a nutshell - you have to add extra hooks, which basically tell mutt
how to open, close and append to, a particular type of folder.

Example: (taken from the manual)

       open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t"
       close-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f"
       append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f"

HTH..
