Someone has suggested #sup on freenode but no takers so far. I'd
probably lurk on a channel if we can agree on one :)

Technically not (although you could probably write a hook to do this).
However, you could change the way your monitor works if you're using
sup locally. See the before/after poll hooks [1]

It should do already. I dont know offhand what the delay is though.

Theres more than one way to do this. Via a hook for auto-demangling
(mime-decode.rb) [1] and via the pipe attachment/message keypress '|'
in thread view mode. Basically if you want to view an attachment put
your cursor line over the attachment line and hit '|'. sup will pipe
the attachment to what ever command line you type in here. html2text
works well (as does antiword for word docs). If your cursor is in the
message somewhere other than an attachment line it will pipe the raw
message to the command.

The :alternates: setting is probably what you want here. I think you
should just have to add your gmail address as an alternate in your
default account. At least this is how I think it should work!
Basically the alternate emails list tell sup you receive email at this
account as these addresses as well, but that you reply using the
default :email: setting.
You may also be interested in the :regexen: list - this allows you to
setup mail extensions (like marcus-sup that I use) and get sup to
reply using the extension.

Hack the source afaik

I'm about to submit a patch for this.

I dont think so at the moment (again, it wouldnt be hard to add)

Theres certainly a before-edit hook, which you may be able to do
things like this in. I havnt played with the pgp stuff yet so someone
else probably knows more here.
