tin has versions for Amiga and Win32, but the former is a bit old and
the latter needs cygwin.  Besides, tin is too un-Windows-like for
Stephan to use.  He prefers to inflict Outlook Distress on everyone.
The worse it posts the happier he is.  He'll be posting in HTML soon.

I haven't tried compiling a new version of tin under AmigaOS.  It
might be interesting to try...

slrn 0.9.7.1 was fun!
