Hm, wouldn't call them critical but here are some of my thoughts:

- detect locale of system, or offer a choice, for VIM spellcheck. It's  
currently hardcoded to en_us - detect from system somehow?
- detect when kill has failed if launched with an extant .sup/lock -  
offer to delete the lockfile? If sup crashes, it's currently  
impossible to reload without manually deleting the file. Maybe offer  
to do it after a couple of tries
- better unicode (in and out) support - search in buffer doesn't work  
at all, and scrolling through a mail with a lot of unicode causes  
severe graphical artifacts
- at least a cursory effort to not store login credentials in  
plaintext .. how to store them whilst retaining simplicity and  
platform independence is an interesting question. Not sure how far sup  
(or anyone really) wants to go down that particular rabbit hole
- attachments/downloads folder? again, I wonder how this fits in with  
sup's philosophy
- ability to send using something other than local sendmail? for  
remote mbox, we have a ssh session open and everything .. and dynamic  
IPs are often RBL'ed
- DB store? in particular, sqlite? especially for user config ...?  
with a view to multiuser access sans user directories & setup  
files.....?
- Launch cargo to high orbit for less than $100/ton and cook a 5-star  
gourmet bouillabaisse from garden scraps? ok ok ok i'll stop now ..!

thanks : )
