I never know if you're joking when you say stuff like this :) Joking
aside though, if you treat sup as a frontend for a database (which is
basically what it is forgetting the email client side) all you
actually need is to get ferret to run as a server.... and if thats all
you need perhaps we can use the work on the DRb server for the RoR
act_as_ferret plugin and have a remote index that sup can then be a
client of.

This then leads me to a wishlist item - perhaps the contacts stuff
should be moved into a ferret db. That way sup can be a searchable
contacts db as well (and it can be remote so shared across clients).

Any thoughts?
