Thanks for the small patch, if i come across it again, i will save the email and send it on to you to figure out whats broken. In hindsight I should have kept some samples before deleting things. on a slightly off topic on sup, i've eventually got sup working relatively well with my archives of mail. and i quite like it :), I have one question about the overall list of the inbox-box mode. Is there any way of say doing an "all mails" mode? or is there a magic query that will let me list *all* of my mails much like how gmail has the "all mails" list where it shows "all mails except spam and trash" ?
