Subject: [sup-talk] [ANN] Sup 0.5 Released

Sup version 0.5 has been released!

* <http://sup.rubyforge.org>

Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.
It supports tagging, very fast full-text search, automatic contact-
list management, and more. If you're the type of person who treats
email as an extension of your long-term memory, Sup is for you.

Sup makes it easy to:
- Handle massive amounts of email.

- Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across different
  machines), Maildir directories, IMAP folders, POP accounts, and
  GMail accounts.

- Instantaneously search over your entire email collection. Search
  over body text, or use a query language to combine search
  predicates in any way.

- Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a particular
  account will use the correct SMTP server, signature, and from
  address.

- Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to handle
  certain types of text within messages.

- Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
  recent contacts, and much more!

The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
everywhere.

Changes:

## 0.5 / 2008-04-22
* new hooks: extra-contact-addresses, startup
* '!!' now loads all threads in current search
* general state saving speedup
* threads with unsent draft messages are now shown in red
* --compose spawns a compose-message buffer on startup
* Many bugfixes and UI improvements

Geez, nice. Apparently as the time of writing, the gem is still 404 on
RubyForge.

Worked for me about 45 minutes ago; 0.5 seems quite nice.

It's not 404 if you download it directly:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/35925/sup-0.5.gem

But yes, it typically takes a few hours for RubyForge to propagate to
the RubyGems index, so I typically try to wait before sending the
announcements, but I typically forget. (Typical!)
