It won't decode the encoding within the "follow," that's simple a dump
of the TCP payload data.  With HTTP, most of that is text, so it appears
that it's working some magic.

Does it decode within the Packet Details frame, in the tree?  If not,
make sure that you have the settings described in
http://wiki.ethereal.com/TCP_Reassembly
checked.

There's a tiny http_gzip.cap on the sample captures page in the wiki as
well, if that decodes then you certainly have a preferences
misconfiguration.  If that doesn't decode, then there is something else
going on.
