Subject: Viewing files in tar mode
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 06:51:13 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <56aa6ab7-57ed-44cc-ba67-c4f8591d11a0@u7g2000yqm.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I have a tarfile (a.tar) containing a compressed  text file and a jpeg
file.
So, a.tar contains b.gz and c.jpeg

Emacs opens up the jpeg correctly - that is - I see the picture
The compressed file is opened as a binary file - emacs does not
uncompress it.

Is there a way of persuading emacs to open the gzipped file correctly?
