OTOH, these commands could be dispayed as icons on the composer toolbar and
implemented to act on the current selection. One could write the message,
add the attachements, then select them and click on the 'Compress' icon,
upon which the attachements would be compressed 'in the message'.
The default selection (i.e. nothing selected) would be the whole message.

For what else could such a feature be used? Virus checking?
