"Compression algorythms" don't "decrypt"; those would be "cryptographic

Also, based on sheer bitcount, there's no way that whole message fit
into that block of random text. That's a screwup on the sender's side,
not the receiver's.

Besides, if Mutt can't work it out (and it couldn't), it must be wrong.
