i also want my sent mail sorted by procmail instead of stored in ~/.sup, so
i run it through "formail -s procmail".  below is the script i run at the
end of the day to empty ~/.sup/sent.mbox and file the messages with
procmail; you might try something similar, perhaps by cron if it's on your
friend's machine.


#------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

ruby='ruby -I lib -w'

cd ~/tmp/sup/trunk

tmpfile=~/tmp/sup-sent/sup-sent-`/bin/date +%F-%T`.mbox

mv ~/.sup/sent.mbox $tmpfile
touch ~/.sup/sent.mbox

echo "processing messages..."
formail -s procmail < $tmpfile

$ruby bin/sup-sync --changed sup://sent 

echo "original sup sent mbox in $tmpfile"

#------------------------------------------------------


this assumes that the resulting destinations for sent messages are checked
by sup in its poll for new messages, so they show up in sup's index again.

sincerely,
