Source-reported description
The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.
tin is a full-screen Usenet news reader for the console. It can read
news locally (/var/spool/news) or remotely via an NNTP server. It
supports threading, scoring, different charsets and support for
different languages. It automatically utilizes NOV newsoverview(5)
style index files if available locally or via the NNTP [X]OVER
command.
This version contains two patches by dnh@opensuse.org changing the
default key for toggling rot13 from '%' to 'd' and displaying the
number of unread posts instead of lines in the threadlist. If you, as
a user, disagree with these patches, do contact dnh.
