Thanks for pointing me out of it, gzipped file issue has gone.
When I use
fetch http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.txt.gz
the file is ok(fetch is a wget-like app in FreeBSD).

Maybe opera does some suck thing on the gzipped file it
downloads:
y...@bsd ~ > file manual.txt.gz
manual.txt.gz: ISO-8859 English text, with overstriking
Don't know what's wrong with opera :(
Also, I don't know how to view the file as a plain text, when I try to view it
by vim, the garbage charactors full-filled with my screen.
`less` is ok. Maybe the file contains many control sequences that vim can't
recorgnize but `less` can? If so, then I think it should be renamed to
manual.less or other thing to make it clear.
