More details for the problem when trying to view the content listing  
of a tar.gz file within IMP:

- a .tar.gz attachment sent using Horde/IMP has a MIME type of  
"application/x-gzip"
- a .tar.gz attachment sent using Thunderbird has a MIME type of  
"application/x-compressed-tar"

Which probably explain the problem (and is probably caused by a  
limitation in the MIME library, as Chuck already mentioned)
