I just discovered that Mutt can do transparent zlib (de)compression of my email folders! Great, eh? All I had to do was add a couple hooks:
open-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -cd %f > %t" close-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t > %f" append-hook \\.gz$ "gzip -c %t >> %f"
This is especially good for a packrat like myself, since I don't bother deleting most of my mailing-list email (even though it is probably useless). Using these compressed folders my 2003 mail folder went from 450720 megs to 128616 (about 28.5% of the original).

This is a great group of folks, and I've always enjoyed it when I've attended in the past. With the wider focus on "perlyglot" developers, it should be even better. If you are new to the speaking circuit, I'd encourage you to submit. #BmoreTech https://twitter.com/dcbpw/status/1202049797647216641 …
