Subject: [sup-talk] an enormously long time to save a message

i received a message with 8mb of text.  i tried to save it to a file, and
sup took the load on my computer past 10.  i gave it five minutes of
grinding my hard drive, then killed it.  i opened the source in mutt, and it
saved it in about half a second.

thanks,

I think I've sped this up. Untested, of course. And note that Sup will
never be anywhere as fast as Mutt, at least until I start using
RubyInline to drop in some C code. :)

In particular saving large attachments worries me, because who knows
what RubyMail is doing...
