Including tar files
...................

   If the remote file (Note: FTP) is a compressed tar file, you can
use `C-c C-m C-t' (`mh-mhn-compose-external-compressed-tar').  Then, in
addition to retrieving the file via anonymous _ftp_, the file will also
be uncompressed and untarred.  You are prompted for the remote host and
pathname and the content description.  The pathname should contain at
least one `/' (slash), because the pathname is broken up into directory
and name components.
