opening the gzip'd file in gvim on my box gives list filetype  utf-8 unix
and the text and 'image' below, which is rendered slightly differently
in gvim vs in the evolution composer window (see attached png of gvim
rendering ColPop.png and vim rendering ColPop1.png which is also slightly
different and evo composer rendering ColPop2.png )

This is a test
