[Bf-committers] .blend magic number & MIME type

[Jeff Harmon]

 thanks!!  so, a .blend can be gzipped and still called a .blend then?  
 if so, how common is this?  i looked at the link for the answer and did 
 not find it; thx for much for your energy and time!  we are working had 
 to support blender files.
