I use sup-sync-back with mbox. I agree with Andrew that overlap would
be a good thing in principle, though personally speaking, I'll
probably take this change as a nudge to convert to maildir. My mbox
files get pretty large (~80-100Mb) between sup-sync-backs, and working with those
files on my aging mail box (1.6GHz Athlon XP) gets pretty clunky in the meantime.

Also looking forward to more interclient operability!

Any interest in kicking off a simple usage survey to find out how
people are using sup? I'd be really curious to see things like...

- the mailstore formats being used
- whether most people use sup as their sole MUA or as one of many
- how multi-MUA users handle working with multiple clients
- the various daily sup workflows in use

Might be helpful from a "what's going on out there" roadmap
perspective, too.
