Summary: bugfixes, and a user’s guide. Also on the web: [http://sup.rubyforge.org/UserGuide.txt](http://sup.rubyforge.org/UserGuide.txt) sup version 0.0.5 has been released! [http://sup.rubyforge.org](http://sup.rubyforge.org) Sup is a console-based email client that combines the best features of GMail, mutt, and emacs.

I am fairly new to this list (and to ruby) and I have tried to install sup using ‘gem install sup’ on a MacBook Pro. It’s not the Tiger ruby version I am using (which is 1.8.2), rather the one installed by darwinports (1.8.5), but I don’t think that matters really. sup and all the dependencies installs fine, without any trouble (as root), but starting it shows this: elstar:~ abonhote$ sup /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.0.6/lib/sup/buffer.rb:45: warning: already initialized constant KEY\_CANCEL [Sat Jan 06 23:01:23 +0100 2007] loading index… [Sat Jan 06 23:01:23 +0100 2007] loaded index of 0 messages [Sat Jan 06 23:01:23 +0100 2007] starting curses Error opening terminal: xterm-color. I have tried several other values for TERM, like xterm, vt100, even linux, but nothing works. What’s up here? Any hints? Unfortunately, there’s nothing about this on the website. TIA André PS: I am a fairly experienced Perl, Java and PL/SQL programmer, but the way ruby works is a hell lot more exciting 🙂 ---

I don’t know the specifics for MacOS, but you probably need to install some kind of package with the word “ncurses”, “termcap” or “terminfo” in the name. Maybe someone else knows more… ---

One question: Do you plan support for the maildir format (in addition to mbox files)? Cheers, Steph. ---

I do plan to, but as I don’t use maildir myself, there are other things I’ll probably focus on first. But adding a new source type to Sup is pretty easy (you only have to support getting messages, basically), so patches are welcome! See the comments at the top of lib/sup/source.rb for how to get started.
