I really like the idea and I have to say that I'm *very* glad that you
are keeping the ncurses interface.
My one concern is that you are thinking of using Sphinx and as a
consequence you are relient on a relational database. Is that really
what you want for a mail client? I find this disturbing on two levels:
having a full blown database system for email seems like overkill and
the idea of an index bring based on a relational model quite appaling.
There are a number of other indexs such as Xapian or Hyper Estraier
both have ruby bindings and both are quite mature and widely used in
other projects.
Just my two cents.
