New submission from anonymous: Maybe this is a crazy idea, but I think it would be a well-rewarding long-term project because if it's completed, Sup would be the first mail client to implement it: have Sup store mail in delta storage.
An obvious raison d'être would be that storing a lot of mail would consume a large amount of disk space, and using delta storage would greatly reduce that amount, especially when threads that contain messages that quote each other are present.
