  11                 <h1>Sup</h1>
  12
  13                 <p>
  14    Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email.
  15    It supports tagging, very fast full-text search, automatic
  16    contact-list management, and more. If you're the type of person
  17    who treats email as an extension of your long-term memory, Sup is
  18    for you.
  19                 </p>
  20
  21                 <p>
  22                 Sup makes it easy to:
  23                 </p>
  24
  25                 <ul>
  26                         <li>
  27                         Handle massive amounts of email.
  28                         </li>
  29
  30                         <li>
  31                         Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across
  32                         different machines), IMAP folders, POP accounts, and Gmail
  33                         accounts.
  34                         </li>
  35
  36                         <li>
  37                         Instantaneously search over your entire email collection.
  38                         Search over body text, or use a query language to combine
  39                         search predicates in any way.
  40                         </li>
  41
  42                         <li>
  43                         Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a
  44                         particular account will use the correct SMTP server, signature,
  45                         and from address.
  46                         </li>
  47
  48                         <li>
  49                         Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to
  50                         handle certain types of text within messages.
  51                         </li>
  52
  53                         <li>
  54                         Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
  55                         recent contacts, and much more!
  56                         </li>
  57                 </ul>
  58
  59                 <p>
  60                 The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
  61                 everywhere.

  84
  85                 <p>
  86                 The current version of Sup is 0.1, released 2007-07-17. This is a
  87                 beta release. It supportsm box, mbox over ssh, IMAP, IMAPS, and Maildir. It does not support POP
  88                 or Gmail accounts yet.
  89                 </p>
  90
  91                 <p>
  92                 There are a few known bugs, but overall it works great! I use it for my everyday
  93                 email, and it makes dealing with 85,000 messages a breeze.
