In my original post I suggested a cron job compress the files, so it's easy to 
vary which files get compressed, and when.  Something like (untested, and 
pre-coffee):

find $MAILPATH ! -name "*.gz" -type f -atime +90 -size +1 -exec /usr/bin/gzip -9 
{} ";"

I certainly wouldn't object, and it sounds like Andrey and others like the idea, 
too.
