Well, I guess the unusual ones certainly don't need an > open handle. It will introduce a very minor slowdown, but I don't think it will really be that noticeable. And the current approach basically prevents people from having large numbers of mbox sources, which is a little contrary to the Sup philosophy of "put every email you've ever read in one program." > > - Date conversion to the local timezone, for sorting and display > Yeah, there's something wrong with my timestamps.

Getting the current textfield stuff working was a goddamn nightmare, and it's still very wonky. It does seem a little weird, philosophically speaking, but I wouldn't throw such code away if it were dumped on my lap. :) That said, what WOULD be easy is to treat IM logs as a message source, and put conversations in the index, gmail style. > Also, is there a way to go from one thread-view directly to another? > I always have to 'x' to go back to the search-results-mode or the > inbox-mode and then scroll to the message I want.
