: the subject change as being part of a different thread.

I accept what you say about threading, but I think that the user
interface of trn leaves something to be desired in comparison with tass
or tin.  What prompted me to post a message was that tin's good points
seemed to be dismissed because of the way 'threads' were constructed.

Is there any prospect of a 'screen' based version of trn sometime in the
future?
