But Sylpheed shouldn't only zip the files rather it should provide the
ability to pass the attached files to an external program(zip, tar,
gzip, graphical archive manager, something else) and depending on
external program's output it should act on the attached files.
When only adding the zip possibility, people will come and ask for tar,
the next one ask for some kind of md5sum or whatever.
