[sup-talk] Tilde in maildir/mbox paths

[Magnus Therning]

I find it useful to be able to stick '~' in paths so here's an attempt
at a patch that allows a source with the URI maildir:~/mail/in.

Two comments:

 1. I didn't really know where to stick expand_uri so it's duplicated in
    Maildir and Mbox.  This is far from ideal.  Please tell me where it
    belongs.

 2. Parsing URIs of the form maildir://~/mail/in seems to be
    problematic:

      irb(main):001:0> require 'uri'
      => true
      irb(main):002:0> URI('maildir://~/mail/in')
      URI::InvalidURIError: the scheme maildir does not accept registry part: ~ (or bad hostname?)
              from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/generic.rb:195:in `initialize'
              from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:492:in `new'
              from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:492:in `parse'
              from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:608:in `URI'
              from (irb):2
              from :0

    I don't know how to get around this so I changed the help text for
    sup-add.
