Hi, an efficient strategy to reduce email traffic is the delayed sending of
emails.
This also would allow the offline writing of emails.
Is there a way to do this in sup?
Best regards, Robert

Hi Robert,

Sup passes each email message to an external program to send
(config.yaml, option "sendmail").
For example, I personally use msmtp.
To queue/delay messages, the solution would be to call an external
program with this functionality built in.
For example, I haven't used this personally, but perhaps something like
msmtp-queue-scheduler may be of interest?
<https://github.com/parisni/msmtp-queue-scheduler>
(The README references Mutt, however, this should work with any MUA,
i.e., should work with Sup.)
Side note: I have received your email from 24 July re: keybindings,
however, haven't yet looked in the detail required. I'll try to look
within approximately the next week if I can, unless someone else on the
mailing list beats me to it. :-)
Kind regards,
Iain

Thanks, Iain, you got an answer for everything!
The msmtp-queue seems to be the perfect solution. I will try this out and
report back.
Best, Robert

Hi, I solved the problem in a different way: I only call offlineimap when
starting sup and answer emails => I will not see replies until I start sup
again ;-).

Hi, installed <#user-content-msmtpq-enqueue>msmtpq-enqueue
and msmtpq-flush from
https://gitlab.com/lxkl/msmtpq
and set in the
.sup/config.yaml
:sendmail: "/usr/local/bin/msmtpq-enqueue -oem -ti"
Twice a day, the emails are sent by a cron job, once a day they are
collected:
11 11 * * * /usr/bin/offlineimap >/dev/null 2>&1
16 16 * * * /usr/local/bin/msmtpq-flush >/dev/null 2>&1
10 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/msmtpq-flush >/dev/null 2>&1
This way, my emailing now is discontinuous; 'chat'-like conversations are
avoided.
Best regards, Robert
