Someone I work with mentioned a mailer called "tin"(?)
Is it avaiable off the net somewhere?  Where?  In 50 words
or less, what makes it unique?

Thanks,  --Bill

tin is an easy to use, threaded full-screen usenet newsreader that can
read news locally and remotely via NNTP. It makes saving and
post-process files very easy and is ideal for first time users as well
as experts.

For the latest version available, get:

	ftp.uwp.edu:/pub/tin/tin.tar.Z

It's not a mailer (yet). Its a newsreader that I will be extending
in a future release to handle mail.

ftp.uwp.edu

Slightly more than 50 (have'nt the time to make it shorter) :-)

o  Based more on Notes and tass than rn type newreaders.
o  Full screen, easy to use with on-line help at all levels.
o  Reads news locally (ie. /usr/spool/news) and/or via NNTP/INN/CD-ROM.
o  Threads on Subject: and/or Archive-name: mail headers.
o  Five different operating levels:
   -  Spooldir selection level (CD-ROM only)
   -  Group selection level
   -  Thread selection level
   -  Article selection level
   -  Article viewer
o  Same interface to mail, pipe, print and save articles.
o  Auto unpacking of multi-part shar & uuencoded articles.
o  Auto-selection (hot) of interesting articles.
o  Batch mode to mail/save new news when user is on holiday.
o  Reposting of articles from one newsgroup to another.
o  Builtin NNTP mini-inews & clientlib.c
o  NNTP extensions XUSER & XINDEX to allow central index files.

Tin is no mailer - it is a Thread Internet News reader.
