Hi! I found some answers to my own questions:

Excerpts from Eyal Oren's message of Tue Oct 09 16:54:51 +0200 2007:

Addresses are not split, but emails are indexed on aliases, so you can search 
for from:bob.

After deleting a thread, I can hit '@' to revert the changes before they are 
saved into ferret.

Haven't found this yet, but am getting used to it.

I figured it out: putmail also has the -t option (like sendmail) to extract 
senders from the email, but ignores options such as -ti or -oem. So the sendmail 
line in config.yaml should be one of these:
  - ":sendmail: /usr/local/bin/putmail.py -t" (direct sending)
  - ":sendmail: /usr/local/bin/putmail_enqueue.py -t" (queue for later)

Wanted to add this to the wiki, but got: "cant write 
html/mywikidb/keep/H/HomePage.kp: Permission denied at 
/var/www/gforge-projects/sup/wiki/wiki.pl line 2856. For help, please send mail 
to the webmaster (tom at infoether.com), giving this error message and the time and 
date of the error."
