Sup version 0.5 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:
