My MUA is fine. It's a mailing list - I reply to the list.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, though it looked reasonably clear to me 
(my writing usually does). I sadi the SERVER ahs to support it. Not the 
software which the server is running, but the server itself. So 
although Apache does support mod_gzip, I'd imagine there are more 
Apache servers which don't use that than do.

Onscreen provides a solution for Windows dialup users which works for 
all servers. Or doesn't as the case may be, as my entire study 
population has given up using the product.
