  17                 reading the docs again, and trying the keys out again, and then
  18                 actually engaging in a bunch of practice usage runs, I now
  19                 officially can't fucking wait for the future of this thing; it

  27                 <p>
  28    Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.
  29    It supports tagging, very fast full-text search, automatic
  30    contact-list management, and more. If you're the type of person
  31    who treats your email client as an extension of your long-term memory,
  32    Sup is for you.
  33                 </p>
  34
  35                 <p>
  36                 Sup makes it easy to:
  37                 </p>
  38
  39                 <ul>
  40                         <li>
  41                         Handle massive amounts of email.
  42                         </li>
  43
  44                         <li>
  45                         Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across
  46                         different machines), IMAP folders, POP accounts, and Gmail
  47                         accounts.
  48                         </li>
  49
  50                         <li>
  51                         Instantaneously search over your entire email collection.
  52                         Search over body text, or use a query language to combine
  53                         search predicates in any way.
  54                         </li>
  55
  56                         <li>
  57                         Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a
  58                         particular account will use the correct SMTP server, signature,
  59                         and from address.
  60                         </li>
  61
  62                         <li>
  63                         Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to
  64                         handle certain types of text within messages.
  65                         </li>
  66
  67                         <li>
  68                         Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
  69                         recent contacts, and much more!
  70                         </li>
  71                 </ul>
  72
  73                 <p>
  74                 The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
  75                 everywhere.

  98
  99                 <p>
 100                 The current version of Sup is 0.1, released 2007-07-17. This is a
 101                 beta release. It supportsm box, mbox over ssh, IMAP, IMAPS, and Maildir. It does not support POP
 102                 or Gmail accounts yet.
 103                 </p>
 104
 105                 <p>
 106                 There are a few known bugs, but overall it works great! I use it for my everyday
 107                 email, and it makes dealing with 85,000 messages a breeze.
