This is probably because your web server returns the content type of the period archived mail files as text/plain because the suffix of these files it .txt; they are plain text files and so this is reasonable. And your browser, eager to please, is happily displaying the downloaded text for you rather than offering to save it.
If nightly_gzip has gzip'ed your archived mail files and the file names end in .txt.gz then your server will probably report the content type as application/x-gzip or some such, unless server is setup to auto-inflate gzip'ed text files, and the browser will probably offer to save the file.
If you want .txt files reported as some mime type other than text/plain you first have to decide what that is. How to get this different content type reported is a bit trickier and will depend to some extent on whether these are public archives being server just by Apache via the /pipermail/ URI path or private archives being served by the Mailman private.py CGI script via the /mailman/private/ URI path.

Oh well, I know that, but most of the users don't. And I also know that
there is a fix for it.
