[sup-talk] Availability of key presses in different modes
I hope this isn''t a repeat. My mail hasn''t been going out for a few days (for reasons totally unrelated to sup ;-), and I''m not sure exactly which was the last one that made it through...

It works here (admittedly on an ancient version of sup, so the keybindings may have changed). Keep in mind that for the change to be applied, you must press ''$'' to write the changes to disk (or exit the view with ''x'') and press ''@'' in your other buffers to update the view with the changes. Good luck! ~d

I can do other things after hitting "." or ",", like archiving or marking as read, but not kill a thread. Incidentally, I''d also think it would be even better to have either returning to the inbox or moving to the next message the default and let the user use keys like "a" directly, in addition to being able to pick a desired behavior by prepending "." or "," explicitly. It''s just much harder to be aware all the time of which mode you''re in than always hitting "a" to archive. Similarly, I think it''s a terrible idea that "S" is bound to "mark as spam" when I''m in the inbox or search-results mode, but search for messages from that person when I''m in thread-view mode. It''s not all that unreasonable to want to search for mail from a particular person directly on a single message in the inbox or when viewing search results. Marking as spam would be particularly bad if that is hooked to some behavior like piping the message to train spamassassin.> > mode, and of "A" or "a" to archive a thread from search-results-mode. > > Are you sure this doesn''t work?
