But if I open a gz file from outside a tar file, it uncompresses the
file.
I also tried running with emacs -Q, and it also failed to uncompress the
gz file contained in the tar file.
You suggested that I customise auto-compression-mode, but that variable
deals with gz files. In any case, could you give me the syntax for
setting auto-compression-mode to jka-compr?
I suspect this is a tar-mode.el bug. Should I report it on the bugs
list?
