This is something that makes me think that this sup server could be used
as an MDA receiving mails directly from the MTA.

What currently have is the following env:

   MTA
     -> MDA (courier for me)
     -> MDA Maildir (offlineimap in my case)
     -> sup (heliotrope)
     -> Mail reader

Why not doing something like this?!:

   MTA -> sup (heliotrope) -> Mail reader

I've started to write a web app to read my mails and I'm not using an
IMAP, POP or any other of these protocols, it's based on a python
library I'm writting to be generict enough to connect with anything. But
I'd love to abandon this abstraction layer in favor of sup :D
