First off, thanks to William and everyone who has contributed to sup.
I'm making the switch from mutt and really enjoying it.

I hunted the list archives and the wiki but couldn't find an answer to
my current problem. In keeping with the philosophy of having one good
tool for each job, I use a separate program to manage contacts (abook).
It helps me to have phone numbers, birthdays, mailing addresses, and
e-mail addresses all in the same place.

abook is designed to work with mutt, using

set query_command="abook --mutt-query '%s'"

in my .muttrc . I know that other similar programs are designed to work
with mutt in the same way (lbdb?). This setup is nice because I can
auto-complete To: addresses with ctrl-T, and I get "Full Name <address>"
in the To: line.

I wonder if there is a way to get similar behavior in sup? 

Thanks,
Dan
