Since 2.2.8-5 it is enabled for new installs but not on upgrades, and I don't think we can change this anymore. MSIE6 still has many problems with compression, especially for non-text/html types. For lenny+1, we could consider a configuration that compresses more file types but disables compression for MSIE6. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
