Here I am.  Not very proficient in Ruby myself, but I suppose sup offers
an incentive to check it out.

Ah, that's slightly confusing behaviour especially after being used to
mutt.  I think I can adapt though :-)

Is anyone working on it already?

All right, here's some background :-)

I have a fairly extensive configuration of procmail for sorting mails
into maildir folders on a server at a friend's place.  I then
synchronise those folders onto a few different machines.  This way I can
read emails on all machines, both at home and work.  When I'm travelling
I can use the web-based reader hosted on the same server at my friend's.

Given this I want to control where sent mails end up so that I can
access those mails from all those locations.  And I want to keep my
hierarchy of folders so that reading emails is easy also on machines
where I can't install sup and online.

This makes me think of another little detail, it seems sup's idea of
what's read and what's new isn't based on the maildir notion of what's
read and what's new (i.e. sup doesn't move mail from /new to /cur when
it's read and doesn't recognise that mail in /cur is read).
