I like being able to exactly control the information obtained via the PHP 
code.  That was why I was planning to nuke the external program, especially 
if mike's code can successfully read all gzip/tar/zip files.  This was the 
same decision I made with the TNEF stuff - since Jan implemented it more or 
less directly from the source code of the external viewer, there was no 
need to support the external viewer anymore.

Additionally, I was thinking about possibly adding support to extract 
individual files if PHP was built with --with-zip and/or zlib support.  
This would not be a mandatory requirement for Horde/IMP; more of a "if you 
have it, might as well use it" thing.
