Title:
  using the filename to get the mimetype is not always correct

Status in File Roller:
  Confirmed
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When opening a file with the extension .z file-roller checks for the
  presence of the compress and uncompress binaries. A normal Ubuntu
  includes uncompress via gzip, but not compress. When file-roller can't
  locate compress, it refuses to open the .z file even though it is
  capable of uncompressing it.
