Beta release: 4.60.5 - compress attachments

[Andrew MacLachlan]

I would suggest 2 rules:
Don't zip anything when the total attachments are under say 100kb (nice to have)
Don't zip archives (zip, rar, *gz etc - base this on filename though) (nicer to have)

I can't see too many people complaining if you hardcoded these. (asbestos suit on just in case)

Who else wants these? The filetype checks would be done by filename 
suffix, not by reading the actual file or launching any external program 
(such as the 'file' command). I don't want to make this a huge 
heavyweight beast.

Zip Attachments Minimum Size = 100k
Don't Zip Attachments Ending = .zip .rar .gz .mp3 .mpg .mpeg

If I do implement either of these, this is as complicated as it's going 
to get.
Who wants either (please specify which one) or both of these settings?
