That was actually a sick joke about writing my own ncurses-based browser from within Sup. But to answer what I think was a serious question about a web version of sup itself, a couple people have expressed a desire to write this, which I think is a little ironic, but which I'm certainly not opposed to. The mode system (in contrast with the buffer system) is not *explicitly* tied to ncurses but probably has all sorts of implicit ties. I.e. it might be possible to come up with some explicit mapping of modes to web pages and commands to web form buttons, but my personal suspicion is that the paradigms are so radically different that that level of integration will be impossible. But certainly searching the index and pulling up threads, messages, etc all is done through nice programmatic interfaces, and I've started documenting this on the wiki, mostly from that email I sent you about sup-cli. > To be honest I probably wouldnt use the --inbox flag that often, it > just struck me as nicer way to implement no having an inbox.
