Disk space is not the only reason for compressing archives. I have one of my lists set to weekly notebooks and the archive files typically run to 1MB or more. For the unfortunate who don't have T-1 access to the net, this size archive can take some time to download. A compressed version would speed up the delivery for these folks. Not that I've got the time to make this happen -- I personally think that they should just use the Web archives and get only the stuff they really care about.
