New submission from anonymous:
Maybe this is a crazy idea, but I think it would be a well-rewarding long-term
project because if it's completed, Sup would be the first mail client to
implement it: have Sup store mail in delta storage.
An obvious raison d'être would be that storing a lot of mail would consume a
large amount of disk space, and using delta storage would greatly reduce that
amount, especially when threads that contain messages that quote each other are
present.

Storing mail in delta storage (or git repo or whatelse) is not a crazy
idea at all. It has quite a few benefits. It is just that basically
sup doesn't do mail _storage_ at all. It only reads mailstore
(currently only Maildir) and writes to (Xapian) index, which it mainly
uses.
I'm closing this for now, because (though it is a great idea in
general) IMO this is currently out of the context of sup.
