14 “Finally a mail client that does what we want, how we want it.”
18 “Every other client we've tried is intolerable.”
22 “It's just what I wanted, but I hadn't realized what I wanted until I saw it.”
26 “Sup is almost to the point where I could jump ship from mutt.”
30 “I was previously intrigued by a gmail-styled
31 mutt-killer written in Ruby, but having actually spent a few
32 hours reading the docs, and trying out all the keys, and
33 reading the docs again, and trying the keys out again, and then
34 actually engaging in a bunch of practice usage runs, I now
35 officially can't fucking wait for the future of this thing; it
36 has my full attention.”
40 Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.
41 It supports tagging, very fast full-text search, automatic contact-
42 list management, custom code insertion via a hook system, and more.
43 If you're the type of person who treats email as an extension of your
44 long-term memory, Sup is for you.
53 Handle massive amounts of email.
57 Mix email from different sources: mbox files, IMAP folders,
58 and Maildirs, across multiple machines.</li>
61 Instantaneously search over your entire email collection.
62 Search over body text, or use a query language to combine
63 search predicates in any way.
67 Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a
68 particular account will use the correct SMTP server, signature,
73 Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to
74 handle certain types of text within messages.
78 Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
79 recent contacts, and much more!
84 The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
