2.3.2.3: Including tar files

If the remote file (see 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.
