It works exactly as you described. ;) > sup maintains its "C" list somewhere other than contacts.txt Sup doesn't actually maintain the "C" list anywhere. It consists of contacts.txt, the list returned from extra-contact-addresses hook and other contacts extracted from the mails sup has recently indexed. You can load more (older) extracted contacts by hitting "M" when viewing the contacts list. > -- if i want those addresses which are "C"-listed to benefit from > autocompletion, i have to manually add them to contacts.txt, right? Partially. You can highlight them, hit "i" (and optionally give completion alias and fix real name) and sup adds them to contacts.txt. > why doesn't sup auto-add "C" list addresses to contacts.txt? Because you don't want all the (rubbish) addresses with all the (rubbish) realnames floating around bloating your contacts. You want sup to be able to parse contacts out of mails, present them (the "persistent" and latest new) nicely to you and let you cherry-pick the contacts you want to "persist". > is there any facility for mailing lists? it looks like that's not > currently possible, since if i do this in contacts.txt... > > listname: person1 , person2 > ...person2 and person3 get dropped in autocompletion and the "C" list. I don't know how it is supposed to work, but I do have mailinglists in my contacts.txt like this: list-alias: person1-alias, person2-alias person1-alias: Person One person2-alias: Person Two It has the added bonus of the people in the list being available for autocompletion one by one too. -- Tero Tilus ## 050 3635 235 ## http://tero.tilus.net/ _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
