Hi,

recently I switched from mutt to sup. Everything works fine besides some
minor issues:

1) Unfortunately, the gpg integration doesn't work. If I want to sign my mails,
sup complains about: 'Problem sending mail: gpg: gpg-agent is not available in
this session' Any tipps to avoid this? With mutt, gpg works fine.

2) I've configured several accounts for sending mail. How can I switch
between them in the mail-compose view? Is changing the from address the
only way?

3) In mutt you can define macros. E.g. you press F2 and the
selected mail is moved from its maildir to a spam mbox. Is this
possible with sup?

Thanks!

At least right now, the only way to run Sup with GPG is to use
gpg-agent. Sup doesn't ask for your password, store it, expire it, etc.
So you'll need to start gpg-agent in the background, and then gpg should
automatically trigger it to ask you for your password.

The one problem with this so far is that the curses version of gpg-agent
doesn't interact well with Sup. If you're using the X version, you'll be
fine.

Yes, that's the only way. (So far!)

No. I would like to have this at some point, and I don't think it would
be terribly hard, but right now even the keybindings are not
configurable.

Hi William,

Well, it's strange. Sometimes the gpg-agent reacts, sometimes the
running daemon isn't recognized. Anyway, it's definitely a problem
caused by my gpg installation, not by sup.

OK. Then the mark-as-spam hook will probably do for me.

Best regards,
Thorsten
