First you have to estimate how many users will actually download any .txt or .txt.gz file. Some users will never visit the archive. Of the rest, the vast majority of accesses will be for the various HTML table of contents, index and message files. As an example, on my largest list (about 400 members) over the last month there were 5714 web accesses of archive pages for that list. 11 of these (<0.2%) were for .txt files. In other words, you aren't going to save much. You would be much much better off using mod_deflate (in apache) to compress all data sent to clients that request it. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
