Why I should not compress images in HTTP headers?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4957172

Question

I read some articles about HTTP headers compression. Today I installed YSlow and it recommends that I compress the resources (text/html, javascript, css and images). Now I'm reading the documentation for Apache mod_deflate but in the example don't compress images.

Should I or should I not compress images in my site?
