Do those lines actually occur raw in the mbox files? Because this is the standard, well-known mbox design flaw, but the solution is typically for clients to write ">From" instead of "From " when adding messages to the mbox. If mutt writes those lines raw, then Sup may have to be more heuristic in my mbox scanning. OTOH, we've had a large number of Sup users who come from mutt (including me!), and I think you're the first who's complained of this. -- William
