I feel lame for asking a question without a patch fixing it and adding 5 new
features :) but was wondering: is there a way to exclude a particular email
address from having names being added to it? i have emails from a bug tracking
system (JIRA) that puts various person names but always with the same email
address <issues at bla.com> which ends up getting saved in ~/.sup/people.txt and
then sup displays all emails from issues at bla.com based on the people.txt name
instead of the individual names on the emails. I think being able to say
"never auto-save for emails matching a certain regex" is the right solution but
not sure...

I'd have to agree. Certain sites like linkedin.com, as well as some
web-to-mailinglist gateways (notably the ruby on rails list) do the
same thing. Worse, the gateways periodically get spam that isn't
trapped anywhere, and so now all mail from that address shows up as
being from <reallylongspamtext> <reallylongspamtext>. Since sup's the
only client I've used that caches the name fields, this is the first
I've run into this particular problem...

Yeah, this is a problem because Sup stores only the email address in the
index and discards the corresponding name. You can override the name by
adding the email address to contacts.txt, which at least makes it
consistent, but in the long run I've got to change how Sup handles this.
