Perhaps I can suggest an alternative solution...
The log files can be huge even with the minimum of screenshots (I only take one when a test fails) and they can be 100 or 200MB for a small test run. And yes you can zip them but you then have to spend time configuring that feature and then unzip them when you want to view them.
The approach I took was to write the log file to our network drive (what's a few giga bytes of storage cost these days?)and implement an email notification of the test results instead. I generate all the test metrics I need such as tests passed, failed by using the event handlers to increment values stored in ProjectSuiteVariables. The email notification links to the logfile stored on our network drive should I need to go look at it. As a plus, I find the email notification much easier to read.
