thanks!  i updated with svn and am trying it out.  i've run into this
problem when sup tries to load a source which no longer exists:

./lib/sup/buffer.rb:45: warning: already initialized constant KEY_CANCEL
./lib/sup/mbox/loader.rb:20:in `initialize': No such file or directory - /home/jeff/mail/dogabulten at dogadernegi.org-2007-06 (Errno::ENOENT)
        from ./lib/sup/mbox/loader.rb:20:in `open'
        from ./lib/sup/mbox/loader.rb:20:in `initialize'
        from ./lib/sup.rb:28:in `new'
        from ./lib/sup.rb:28:in `yaml_properties'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `call'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `transfer'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `node_import'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:144:in `load_file'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:143:in `open'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:143:in `load_file'
        from ./lib/sup.rb:84:in `load_yaml_obj'
        from ./lib/sup/index.rb:278:in `load_sources'
        from ./lib/sup/index.rb:29:in `load'
        from bin/sup:58

i have a cron job which deletes zero-length files under ~/mail so they don't
clutter.  could sup handle no-longer-existent sources gracefully, either
ignoring them or (perhaps better) offering to remove them from sources.yaml?

thanks,
