Which means it is probably a server-side (i.e. HTTP server issue).  My  
guess is that you have both Horde/PHP configured to gzip data and your  
server configured to gzip data.  So when received by the browser, it  
is actually compressed 3 times - the browser removes one layer and you  
are left with double compression.

This is a config issue however and should be discussed on a mailing  
list instead of the bug tracker.
