On Friday, sup stopped loading and crashed with an exception, I also couldn't run sup-sync. At first I was a little scared, but then I remembered that sup doesn't actually modify mail data so that I could revert to pine, and then I got very, very scared.
I though I would have to do weird things at a ruby prompt but I just waited two days and now it works again. Somewhat strange since I tried about five times on Friday. Oh well, I'm running sup in screen so I'll just never quit again. :) Here's the error message in case there's something obvious to someone else: tangerine:~/mail>sup-sync [Fri Apr 24 16:43:10 -0600 2009] using character set encoding "US-ASCII" [Fri Apr 24 16:43:11 -0600 2009] crypto: no gpg binary detected [Fri Apr 24 16:43:11 -0600 2009] locking /Users/johnbent/.sup/lock...
