Hi list!
Thanks for a wonderful program William. Here are a few of my desired
features:
- color schemes.
Somehow I'm not that fond of the defaults :) I know I can edit the code
but I'd like to be able to "theme" sup.
- incoming message filters
I'd like to be able to apply filters on incoming messages: label them,
archive some of them and so on
- 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.
- moving archived articles to another mbox
This would be very useful because it would let me run biff programs.
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?
Once again, thanks a lot,

On the todo list, along with customizable keybindings, but they're both
pretty far down. :)

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.

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.

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.)

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?

There is a way of tricking procmail into doing what I want. Sup could
take in a list of procmail rules and corresponding label assignments,
create a procmail configuration file that makes procmail act as a filter
that adds an X-Sup-Labels header with the corresponding labels, run all
new messages through procmail with that config file at poll time, and
then parse that header to determine the labels.
Pretty painful. But then you can just write some procmail rules for the
labels you want, and it doesn't matter what source the messages come
from (as long as you have procmail locally!).
