The issue of compression is one that has plagued the community for awhile. the big issue is the total protocol stack. If you encrypt and then compress, then you do nothing since compression works by looking for long strings of repeating bits and making a smaller code to represent that. If you compress and then encrypt, you may have a lossy system (i.e create bit errors somewhere) and not get back the bits you compressed. If your a corporate guy, you want encryption so that your sensitive email does not get posted to xxxuniversity.edu bulletin boards... The complete stack needs to be addressed in a very strict way. Not easy.
