Subject: [sup-talk] some user questions
Message-ID: <20071009145451.GA22618@localhost>

Hi

First, thanks for sup! It's very nice. I have some questions/remarks. For 
simple things, point me to files and linenumbers: I can submit patches.

- I have the feeling that several keybindings are overloaded between 
   different screens, but in a confusing manner. For example, when 
inbox-mode, 'S' means mark-as-spam, while in contact-list-mode it means 
search-for-messages. That is confusing, because S for search makes sense in 
both contexts. I've already marked several emails as spam inadvertently 
because of this. There might be more of these, I'm not sure.

- When are changes applied? Some changes are applied instantly (when 
   marking an email as spam, it will instantly disappear from the inbox) 
while others need a manual refresh (when unmarking mail as spam, it will 
instantly disappear from the spam view but when changing back to the inbox, 
a refresh is needed before the email is shown).  Would it be very expensive 
to update a buffer automatically when it is being switched to?  Also, 
personally, I'd rename the help text 'Discard threads and reload' into 
'refresh view'. 

- Is it possible to index emails on parts of the email address, splitting 
   on '.' and '@'? I would like to search for emails from 'john', not from 
'john.doe at hotmail.com'.

- Is it possible to undelete an email? I hit 'd', realise my mistake, 
   search for the email which I can still find (I guess because the changes 
haven't yet been written into ferret) and then wonder if there's still 
something I can do to prevent me from losing this email?

- Is it possible to change the ordering of threads? I'm used to sorting my 
   emails oldest-first.

- I'm trying to use sup together with putmail [1], a simple lightweight MTA 
   (similar to bsmtp). putmail can mimic sendmail. I can configure sup to 
use putmail, but the emails generated by sup are not understood by putmail 
(see one example attached). Can you maybe see whether the error is on sup's 
side or on putmail's?
