On the todo list, along with customizable keybindings, but they're both pretty far down. :) > - incoming message filters > I'd like to be able to apply filters on incoming messages: label them, > archive some of them and so on The way to do this currently is to use procmail to sort mail into different folders, and then set labels, auto-archive/auto-read, etc. for each source in Sup. I realize that's not ideal (in particular, users whose mail is delivered to IMAP servers not under their control are left out in the cold), but I really really don't want to write a slow, buggy, Ruby procmail clone as part of Sup. Is there another option? I would really like the full power of procmail. > - polling with fetchmail > I use fetchmail and I'd like to be able to add some sort of hook before > polling that would run fetchmail first. I use fetchmail too, so I agree this would be nice. A near-term goal is to have a good system of user-defined hooks, and I think this would be the right place for that. > - moving archived articles to another mbox > This would be very useful because it would let me run biff programs. This could be done easily, at least in a batch fashion, with a few changes to sup-sync-back. I'm not sure if that's what you want. How do you want to use biff with this? (This reminds me that there is still a completely unresolved question of how sup-sync-back should lock mboxes. It doesn't do any locking at all currently, which means you should be probably very careful with it.) > I might be able to give you a hand (or patch) for one or two of these. > Which ones would you like and which would be the easiest? If batch moving of archived messages is useful to you, that's probably the easiest one to do. Making the colors configurable wouldn't be too hard either. I'm imagining a yaml config file that can override the color setup in sup.rb. What do you think? -- William
