greetings!

i'm curious about how the contacts list actually works... i've read and written 
a number of emails in sup now, and "C" shows quite a few contacts. when i open 
contacts.txt for editing, those contacts do not show in that file. however, if 
i add a few contacts in contacts.txt, they get added to the "C" list in sup -- 
if they were already there, the nickname i put in contacts.txt shows up, and if 
they weren't, then they become new additions to the list. contacts which are in 
the "C" list but which are *not* in contacts.txt do not participate in 
autocompletion when filling in headers.

so, it looks like sup maintains its "C" list somewhere other than contacts.txt 
-- if i want those addresses which are "C"-listed to benefit from 
autocompletion, i have to manually add them to contacts.txt, right? 

why doesn't sup auto-add "C" list addresses to contacts.txt?

also, i noticed that all editing of contacts.txt has to be done while sup is 
not running -- anything changed during a sup run get reverted when sup closes.

one other question regarding contacts: is there any facility for mailing lists? 
it looks like that's not currently possible, since if i do this in 
contacts.txt...

listname: person1 <address1>, person2 <address2, person3 <address3

...person2 and person3 get dropped in autocompletion and the "C" list.

cheers!
