Subject: [sup-talk] sent mail

I'm a new sup user. It is great. I'd like to ask what is the 'right way' to
set up my sent mail. I have a single mbox file sent-mail that contains many
messages from my pre-sup days. I'd like to add messages sent with sup to the
end of this file.

I've tried choosing this file with sup-config for storing my sent mail, but
sup crashes after the mail is sent without adding to the file (see
http://masanjin.net/sup-bugs/issue89).

I've tried linking ~/.sup/sent.mbox to sent-mail. Now sup doesn't crash and
it adds mail to sent-mail. But the sent mail appears in my inbox because it
has the inbox label.

Can anyone offer a few pointers on how to append sent mail to my existing
send-mail file, have the old sent mail in that file labeled as sent and
searchable, and not have sent messages appear in my inbox? All comments most
welcome.

Thank you,
Neil.

Are you sure about that? mbox files can easily get very large and it’s a pain
to parse/handle them. I would really recommend maildir, you can use mb2md
to convert an existing mbox file to a maildir folder.

In sup 0.11, sent mail does not get the inbox label anymore (AFAIK). Are you
using 0.11?
