I suggest to use "gzip -t" for test if an email is already compress, 
with file I found some unrecognized compress email, a real example:

# file 1424615175.M471013P18835.pop04.domain.com\,S\=3982\,W\=4097\:2\,S
1424615175.M471013P18835.pop04.domain.com,S=3982,W=4097:2,S: Minix 
filesystem, V3, 6762 zones

# gzip -t 1424615175.M471013P18835.pop04.domain.com\,S\=3982\,W\=4097\:2\,S
# echo $?
0
