Hello Wilfred,

On Sunday August 20 2023 13:31, you wrote to Tommi Koivula:

These are the only ones still defined in my congfig (W32)

 ZIP   PKZip25.Exe -add -nozipextension

 ZIP   PKzip25.Exe -ext -nozipextension -over

For the vast majority of my links Fmail does no compression. It is left to
Binkd. For a few links ZIP is used.

So by all means remove the default for the obscure ones. As long as the user
cam still add a seldom used compression method.




Cheers, Michiel
