Hi,

it seems like sup is blocking during the validation of GPG signed/encrypted
mails. While for encryption it makes some sense to block, for signed mails
it would be better to just display the message and add the information about
the signature status later. The same approach could be used for encrypted
messages: Display "decrypting..." and update it when done.

This is especially important for big mailing lists (like debian-devel) which
contain many signed mails.

Best regards,
Michael

I agree. This would be great.
