I use my email for all sorts, but one thing I do often is use it as a
todo list. So I have a set of current todos (labeled todo). Its good
to be able to bring up sup, with the todos only. Sometimes I'll stay
in sup, sometimes not.
Anyone who is into gtd could use this for contexts, my "todo" label
is like a context. I can enter sup and deal with this and not get
distracted by other stuff.
It also means I can alias "todo" in my shell to "sup --search
'label:todo'" or something.
In some cases I dont need the inbox at all like you say. I tried to
add a --no-inbox flag to sup, but I couldnt get it to work. I think
the buffer sizes screwed up somehow when I stopped the inbox mode from
spawning. I must have missed something.
I spotted that the inbox is actually a search result whilst trawling
the code so my idea is now that instead of a --no-inbox what you
actually do is have another search argument --inbox that takes a
search term This would set the search term for the inbox mode. That
way you could go into sup and have your inbox mode permanently in
whatever search term you entered.
This would mean you could go in via --search and keep your inbox as
normal. Or via --inbox and have a specialised inbox.
