[sup-talk] Feature Req: Command line search/display options

[William Morgan]

Excerpts from Marcus Williams's message of Mon Oct 15 05:49:34 -0700 2007:

In SVN there's a devel/console.sh, which shows how to hook into Sup
without invoking the interface. Here are some examples:

> sup --search "some search term"

  $ sh devel/console.sh
  [Fri Oct 26 20:37:55 -0700 2007] loading index...
  [Fri Oct 26 20:37:55 -0700 2007] loaded index of 63434 messages
  >> Index.index.search_each("potato") { |id, score| m = Index.build_message(id); puts "[#{id}] [#{m.from}] [#{m.subj}]" }

You can submit a patch that adds --search and --display options to
bin/sup, if you like.
