<h1>Sup</h1>
-<p>
-Sup is an attempt to take the UI innovations of web-based email
-readers (ok, really just GMail) and to combine them with the
-traditional wholesome goodness of a console-based email client.
-</p>
-<p>
-Sup is designed to work with massive amounts of email, potentially
-spread out across different mbox files, IMAP folders, and GMail
-accounts, and to pull them all together into a single interface.
-</p>
-<p>
-The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
-everywhere.
+<p> Sup is a console-based email client that combines the best
+ features of GMail, mutt, and emacs. Sup matches the power of GMail
+ with the speed and simplicity of a console interface.
</p>
+<p> Sup makes it easy to:
+
+<ul>
+
+<li> Handle massive amounts of email. </li>
+
+<li> Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across
+ different machines), IMAP folders, POP accounts, and GMail
+ accounts. </li>
+
+<li> Instantaneously search over your entire email collection. Search
+ over body text, or use a query language to combine search
+ predicates in any way. </li>
+
+<li> Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a particular
+ account will use the correct SMTP server, signature, and from
+ address. </li>
+
+<li> Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to handle
+ certain types of text within messages. </li>
+
+<li> Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track
+ recent contacts, and much more! </li> </ul> </p>
+
+<p> The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds
+ everywhere. </p>

-<p>The current version of Sup is 0.0.1, released November 28th, 2006.

+<p> The current version of Sup is 0.0.5, released January 5th, 2007.
+ This is a beta release. It is unix-centric and has no i18n
+ support. It supports only mbox, mbox+ssh, and IMAP, not POP or
+ GMail. I plan to fix all of these problems. </p>
+
+<p> Other than those limitations, it works great! I use it for my
+ everyday email, and it makes dealing with 85,000 messages a
+ breeze. </p>
