sup talk - Jan 2008 - Some initial problems with sup

Hi, I am a new user of sup and I like it a lot. I plan to switch
gradually from mutt.

I have a first problem with gmail imap folders for Drafts and Sent Mail
(the inbox works fine):
their relative path is [Gmail]/Drafts and [Gmail]/Sent Mail. Thus they
include a space and square brackets. If I try to use them in
sources.yaml, but I get:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:436:in `split'': bad URI(is not URI?):
imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts (URI::InvalidURIError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:485:in `parse''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:608:in `URI''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.3/lib/sup/imap.rb:62:in
`initialize''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.3/lib/sup.rb:29:in `new''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.3/lib/sup.rb:29:in
`yaml_properties''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `call''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `transfer''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `node_import''
         ... 7 levels...
        from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.3/lib/sup/index.rb:108:in
`load''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sup-0.3/bin/sup-sync:111
        from /usr/bin/sup-sync:16:in `load''
        from /usr/bin/sup-sync:16

I tried to escape them with \:

uri: imaps://imap.gmail.com/\[Gmail\]/Drafts

But I get exactly the same error message. Is there a proper way to
escape the characters?

Yay!

Bah. I thought I was going to be so cool by treating everything as a
URI, but it''s caused nothing but hassle.

You need to URL-encode them. Something like this:

  $ irb -rcgi
  >> CGI::escape "[Drafts]"
  => "%5BDrafts%5D"

Thanks, this works (actually it doesn''t work, but this depends from
gmail: it seems that these names of folders are not right / do not exist in my
account;
nothing related to sup)
