I'm not familiar with all email clients, I mostly use Thunderbird, but almost all messaging clients, social media and similar service do compression when you upload media to them today. It's not super far off that an email client would do the same.

He was saying the receiving email client (the defense's) was doing the compression (because if he was responsible, that potentially puts him in trouble)
