Sup version 0.4 has been released! [http://sup.rubyforge.org](http://sup.rubyforge.org) Sup is a console-based email client for people with a lot of email. It supports tagging, very fast full-text search, automatic contact- list management, and more. If you’re the type of person who treats email as an extension of your long-term memory, Sup is for you. Sup makes it easy to: - Handle massive amounts of email. - Mix email from different sources: mbox files (even across different machines), Maildir directories, IMAP folders, POP accounts, and GMail accounts. - Instantaneously search over your entire email collection. Search over body text, or use a query language to combine search predicates in any way. - Handle multiple accounts. Replying to email sent to a particular account will use the correct SMTP server, signature, and from address. - Add custom code to handle certain types of messages or to handle certain types of text within messages. - Organize email with user-defined labels, automatically track recent contacts, and much more! The goal of Sup is to become the email client of choice for nerds everywhere. Changes: ## 0.4 / 2008-01-23 - GPG support for signing and encrypting outgoing mail - New hooks: mime attachment, attribution line - Improved local charset detection using gettext library - Better quoted region detection - Many bugfixes and UI improvements ---

Reformatted excerpts from Daniel L.'s message of 2008-01-24: > Can I import mail from Thunderbird? According to the Thunderbird FAQ, it stores email in mbox format, so yes.
