I'm a new sup user. It is great. I'd like to ask what is the 'right way' to
set up my sent mail. I have a single mbox file sent-mail that contains many
messages from my pre-sup days. I'd like to add messages sent with sup to the
end of this file.

I've tried choosing this file with sup-config for storing my sent mail, but
sup crashes after the mail is sent without adding to the file (see
http://masanjin.net/sup-bugs/issue89).

I've tried linking ~/.sup/sent.mbox to sent-mail. Now sup doesn't crash and
it adds mail to sent-mail. But the sent mail appears in my inbox because it
has the inbox label.

Can anyone offer a few pointers on how to append sent mail to my existing
send-mail file, have the old sent mail in that file labeled as sent and
searchable, and not have sent messages appear in my inbox? All comments most
welcome.

Thank you,
Neil.

Hi Michael,

I shall give this a serious look. Thanks for the tip.

I'm using 0.10.2-1 from Debian testing. I've had a go at getting 0.11, but
it's not available in Debian. I've failed to compile it several times using
"gems install sup". I finally got it to work using ruby1.9, but can't work
out how to run sup. I tried

# /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/bin/sup
/var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/sup-0.11/lib/sup/util.rb:2:in `require': /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/lockfile-1.4.3/lib/lockfile.rb:454: syntax error, unexpected ']' (SyntaxError)
/var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/lockfile-1.4.3/lib/lockfile.rb:564: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting keyword_end
         from /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/sup-0.11/lib/sup/util.rb:2:in `<top (required)>'
         from /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/sup-0.11/lib/sup.rb:277:in `require'
         from /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/sup-0.11/lib/sup.rb:277:in `<top (required)>'
         from /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/sup-0.11/bin/sup:15:in `require'
         from /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/sup-0.11/bin/sup:15:in `<top (required)>'
         from /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/bin/sup:19:in `load'
         from /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/bin/sup:19:in `<main>'

which fails and

# /var/lib/gems/1.9.0/gems/sup-0.11/bin/sup
/usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory

which fails.

I was going to try rubyforge, but it only lists 0.10.2 and earlier.

Being new to ruby is not helping! I'll have a go at compiling the
development version from the git repository.

Thank you for your help.

Best,
Neil.
