As you know we are using tar archives. We take pains that our tar 
implementation is compatible with the tar format used by PGP.

Marcus already made that point. "Why are you not using tar.gz.gpg" if you use 
something out of the standard anyway?

Here I said that this will move something that was standartized (the 
compression) out of the standard and leave it to the application. 

But if you dislike my example with a folder, which I chose to underline that 
compression is needed. Please ignore it and respond to the other points made 
in this thread like compression for mails or just replace "folder" in my 
example with "file" and there you go.

I find this kind of discussion about my example unhelpful and distracting on 
this list. If you want to further discuss this please do it off list.

Regards,
Andre
