I'm having lots of trouble reading japanese documentation that's
GZipped. Somehow auto-compression mode is interfering with coding
systems.
Opening a gzipped text file will normally set the buffer into uni-byte
mode. So before I'm able to use `decode-coding-region' I first have to
call `toggle-enable-multibyte-characters' (which caused a lot of
confusion since I'm used to Buffers being multibyte).
Specifying the coding system via C-x <Ret> c euc-jp C-x f <file>.gz
won't work either. The resulting buffer will just be empty.
A similar problem might be related: I'm not able to read japanese info
files with Emacs, when they're GZipped.
I'm using Emacs 21.1 which came with Debian Woody. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks for reporting this.
Does this happen in "emacs -q --no-site-file"? If the problem still
persists in such a session, could you please make a small file that can be
used to reproduce the problem, and put it somewhere where it can be
retrieved via FTP or some other method?
