I kept hitting this bug that was driving me nuts.

While editing a message, I'd go to add a recipient that I don't usually email.

So, I'd leave my draft in a buffer, find a mail from them, and go to
update their contact, only to get hit with an undefined method error.
This seems to get triggered if you ever set a new alias for a contact
that already exists in the contacts list.

I made a fix on my branch on gitorious.
https://gitorious.org/~jofathan/sup/jofathan-sup/commit/7754799bc186833371c7839142270fe65b942ee6

Is anyone still monitoring the sup/mainline repo on gitorious?
William Morgan? Are you still active with sup? Does sup need a new maintainer?

I still use sup every day for my work email, and its my favorite client ever.
Maybe it would be useful to have a sup hackers meetup in San Francisco?

The crash was like:
[Fri Apr 12 10:04:55 -0700 2013] ERROR: oh crap, an exception
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm very sorry. It seems that an error occurred in Sup. Please
accept my sincere apologies. Please submit the contents of
/home/jof/.sup/exception-log.txt and a brief report of the
circumstances to http://masanjin.net/sup-bugs/ so that I might
address this problem. Thank you!

Sincerely,
William
