I used tin for e-mail for a while, but I don't think I ever tried e-mail
with it. I used rn for that, back in the days when so little news had
JIS in it that it didn't cost much of my life to copy anything that
looked interesting to RAM and convert it to Japanese.

The only real difference (aside from Japanese being Japanese without
conversion) I see between my Mozilla news reader and rn is that I can
see a section of the header list and a post at the same time, rather
than having to switch from one to the other.

Now I'm curious to see how tin works...
