Hi all,

I've written a blog post about improving my email experience. And since it
interacts nicely with sup it may be of some interest for you.

Best Regards,

This is brilliant.

Can you help me get it work?

What defines FULLEMAIL?  I can't get the script past that.

(I'm not on the latest sup checkout, but i grepped the next branch for
FULLEMAIL and didn't see anything.)

Thanks.

I also employ a tickler system in sup, one that relies exclusively on labels.
To mark a thread for review on day DD of the month, label it with #DD.
Obviously this extends forward only one month.  I have not found that
problematic.  I also use #E to indicate the need to reply, #W as waiting for
something, #A for action required, etc.

The choice of # came from two considerations.  First, it sorts before letters.
Second, it does not require quoting in searches.  The date labels could do
without the prefix, but I began with the #<letter> labels, and like the way
that the common prefix sets these elements apart in label-list-mode.

Cheers, W.

Of course.

I defined it in my shell profile (.zshrc actually),

export FULLEMAIL="Nicolas Pouillard <nicolas.pouillard@gmail.com>"

I know that is not standard, and I can be easily convinced to support
something more portable.

In my .zshrc I have $EMAIL, $MAILADDR as well.

Thanks for the tip!

I already use a "pending" label for a mix of "waiting",
"need to reply", and "action required". I'm thinking about switching to
shorter and more distinct naming like yours.

However I like the system proposed because it is event based and can be more
fine grained than "a day of the month".

Best regards,

I have updated my gist [1], to reflect two changes the first is to set the
date at the sending time (not when running email-reminder) and the second is
to use $EMAIL and $REALNAME which are a bit more self-explanatory.
