Hi, I've been looking at sup for only a day, as I'm trying to find a
decent email client. I migrated from mutt to gmail, but now it's time
to move away from gmail because their client is not smart enough.

Sup has passed my number 1 feature test; I can easily read messages
while keeping multiple unsent messages available. Mutt does that, but
it's not easy to see what messages you are currently working on.

However, I'm coming across some character decoding issues with
quoted-printable that are making some messages hard to read. Any
advice on how to improve things would be welcome ... In the example
below, a NBSP entity is showing up as the characters "M-BM-"

I'm on Ubuntu 9.04, with the current master from git. Sup is running
in GNOME Terminal 2.26.0, with UTF-8 encoding, although unsurprisingly
switching to ISO-8859-1 makes no difference. $TERM=xterm (or 'screen'.
vt100 and vt220 cause sup to halt at startup).  This is the text that
gets displayed for a sample message sent from Yahoo! mail ...

Visible in sup thread-view-mode:
videos for specific hints regarding the gestures.M-BM-  Do you have a decent
recording device?M-BM-  Have you seen what's available?M-BM-  Do you have
editing software?

Displayed in Gmail client:
I was thinking about cleaning up the videos on YouTube, and perhaps
adding more videos for specific hints regarding the gestures.  Do you
have a decent video recording device?  Have you seen what's available?
 Do you have any video editing software?
