Hi,
Thanks you guys great work. the sup is the best mail client I have seen.
I met a problem. I add a source formatted mbox. and I use getmail program to get
mail, then the mail is filtered by procmail and is saved in ~/mail/vim. But it
occure error when sup start:
Scanning mbox:/home/dm/mail/vim...
problem getting messages from mbox:/home/dm/mail/vim: mismatch in mbox file
offset 0: "Return-Path: <yaksavage at gmail.com>\n".
I can't see any mail after entering sup. In fact, there is many mails in vim mbox.
what's wrong with it?

Is the very first line of that mbox "Return-Path: <yaksavage at gmail.com>"?
If so, that's not a valid mbox.
If not, you need to run "sup-sync --changed mbox:/home/dm/mail/vim" to
update Sup's index. This has to be done whenever the mbox changes in any
way other than adding new messages.

If so, that's not a valid mbox.
No, it's a valid mbox, refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_path
it works if I relace return_path with "from ". I'll try to define a rule to
do replacement
in procmailrc. But it would be good idea to dealing correctly it in sup :)
And it seems that sup-sync can't run while sup is running. It means that I
can't open
sup in whole day because I need sup-sync run when I get new mail if I use
some mbox
as source

Hmmm.... I don't think that that's a valid mbox.

No, I don't. Now I solve it by adding the following lines into
.procmailrc's header
:0 fhw
| formail -I "From " -a "From "
I think it's helpful if someone use procmail as MTA
