 The only drawback right now is that sup is still
 very young, it has its quirks. Never the less it's the best mail
 client I've used so far (used only claws mail before), especially
 when it comes to reading and searching and I don't regret that I
 switched.

i'm also using claws. the biggest thing that bothers me about it is not
enough customisation options, no event system, no easily scripting
things inside it (they are working on an events system but it supports
only 3 events now afaik, and you can spawn external scripts with
keybinds but it's hard to modify the behavior or state of claws from
external scripts).  one of the many examples: I want to be able to
change html/image viewing settings depending on sender address or open
mailbox.

any thoughts on those things re: sup and claws?

Thunderbird 3 is also good. Thunderbird by default bottom posts (it can 
be changed though).

thunderbird doesn't offer any of the things I'm looking for (see
above), is bloat and makes a mess in its user's $HOME.
