I migrated from mutt to gmail, but now it's time to move away from gmail because their client is not smart enough. Sup has passed my number 1 feature test; I can easily read messages while keeping multiple unsent messages available. Mutt does that, but it's not easy to see what messages you are currently working on. However, I'm coming across some character decoding issues with quoted-printable that are making some messages hard to read. Any advice on how to improve things would be welcome ... In the example below, a NBSP entity is showing up as the characters "M-BM-" I'm on Ubuntu 9.04, with the current master from git. Sup is running in GNOME Terminal 2.26.0, with UTF-8 encoding, although unsurprisingly switching to ISO-8859-1 makes no difference. $TERM=xterm (or 'screen'. vt100 and vt220 cause sup to halt at startup). This is the text that gets displayed for a sample message sent from Yahoo! mail ... Visible in sup thread-view-mode: videos for specific hints regarding the gestures.M-BM- Do you have a decent recording device?M-BM- Have you seen what's available?M-BM- Do you have editing software?
