Subject: [sup-talk] flexible sent (wip)

Hi All,

For those interested in the ability to store mail in places other than
the sent.mbox file in the $SUP_BASE directory, you can see my work in
progress by checking out the bw/flexible_sent branch available from:
git://code.chass.utoronto.ca/bwalton-sup.git

This code is branched from a very recent next on WIlliam's mainline.
The present state of the code is working in my tests (I've played with
IMAP and Maildir, but mbox is also a possibility if you're brave...see
my previous message).  I haven't added the sup-config part yet, so
you're still required to add a

:sent_source: <some valid source uri>

line to your config.yaml to enable it.

You can setup a testing area (eg separate ferret index, config, etc)
by running sup with SUP_BASE=/some/alternate/.sup/dir if you want to
get a feel for it without touching your working setup.

Comments and feedback are welcome.

Thanks
-Ben
