I set my editor in config.yaml to:
emacs -f flyspell-mode -nw +8
This command works correctly from the command line, but when sup opens
emacs for composing, it uses -nw and +8 correctly but does not use
flyspell-mode. Anyone have any luck with this?
Thanks.

Sup just does a system call to <editor> <filename>, with no fanciness,
so it's hard to imagine what would be wrong, unless it's some Emacs
wackiness. Time to switch to vi? :)

Yeah, looks like it's an emacs thing. When I run it from the command
line with a file argument, it doesn't work. Sorry for the time
waste...

I set my editor to be emacsclient and added this to my .emacs:
; disable longlines-mode for e-mail
; mail-mode runs text-mode first.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
'("sup\\.\\(compose\\|forward\\|reply\\|resume\\)-mode$" . mail-mode))
(add-hook 'mail-mode-hook (function (lambda ()
(longlines-mode 0)
(auto-fill-mode 1))))
Using emacsclient keeps one copy of emacs open, but each invocation of
emacsclient opens a new buffer with the given file. I always used sup while
using a windowing environment at the same time.

Even if you don't use a windowing environment, the mail-mode modification
should work. It will also give you some nice features like quote
highlighting while editing (assuming font-lock is on).

Combining Christopher's idea with something I found on the internet,
putting the following in my .emacs opens sup buffers with
flyspell-mode enabled. Warning, flyspell checks all the text in the
buffer before letting you work, so if you are quoting a really long
chain of emails, this can take a few seconds.
;; flyspell stuff
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
'("sup\\.\\(compose\\|forward\\|reply\\|resume\\)-mode$" . mail-mode))
(setq mail-mode-hook (quote (#[nil "\300\301!\207" [flyspell-mode 1] 2] flyspell-buffer mail-mode-hook-identify)))
