Resend as caught-out by default setting on mailing list... although I've subscribed now anyway!
Really enjoying using sup at the moment, great piece of software.
I've just had this problem with parsing contacts.txt
The problem was: 'can't parse /Users/stevet/.sup/contacts.txt line "Anthony
Dobson: anthony at collierdobson.com\n"' (error type RuntimeError)
A backtrace follows:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/contact.rb:13:in
`initialize': can't parse /Users/stevet/.sup/contacts.txt line "Anthony Dobson:
anthony at collierdobson.com\n" (RuntimeError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/contact.rb:12:in
`foreach'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup/contact.rb:12:in
`initialize'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup.rb:107:in `new'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/lib/sup.rb:107:in `start'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.1/bin/sup:88
from /usr/local/bin/sup:16:in `load'
from /usr/local/bin/sup:16
There is only one line in the contacts.txt file.
Regards,

Hm, Sup doesn't expect aliases to have spaces. Sup's expecting something
like "tony: Anthony Dobson <anthony at blah.com>". Did you add that line by
hand, or did you use Sup to make the alias?
That translates into two bugfixes for me:
1. Don't allow spaces when inputting a new alias name.
2. Don't crash completely when contacts.txt isn' what you expect.

Ahh, that makes sense.
Originally, I had used Sup but that hadn't worked, so assumed that it was related to the way the email address was formatted.
Sup did allow me to enter a space in the alias!
Thanks for the quick reply!
