| Version: 2.6.4 | Vendor: openSUSE |
| Release: 1.1 | Build date: Sat May 10 08:50:37 2025 |
| Group: Productivity/Networking/News/Clients | Build host: reproducible |

| Summary: Threaded NNTP and spool-based UseNet news reader | |
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.
