  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.
  45                 </p>
  46
  47                 <p>
  48                 Sup makes it easy to:
  49                 </p>
  50
  51                 <ul>
  52                         <li>
  53                         Handle massive amounts of email.
  54                         </li>
  55
  56                         <li>
  57                         Mix email from different sources: mbox files, IMAP folders,
  58             and Maildirs, across multiple machines.</li>
  59
  60                         <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.
  64                         </li>
  65
  66                         <li>
  67                         Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a
  68                         particular account will use the correct SMTP server, signature,
  69                         and from address.
  70                         </li>
  71
  72                         <li>
  73                         Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to
  74                         handle certain types of text within messages.
  75                         </li>
  76
  77                         <li>
  78                         Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
  79                         recent contacts, and much more!
  80                         </li>
  81                 </ul>
  82
  83                 <p>
  84                 The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
  85                 everywhere.
