Mr MONSTER,

I like your name.  Are you related to Herman Munster?

I wish I were as BIG as him.

I know nothing about tin, so I tried it out.

It sucks.

I did figure out that if I type in ^K while in tin,
that it will drop me into a form interface.

While there I did figure out how to "auto-select" articles
with a string of my choosing in the Subject line.

If memory serves me right,
I tabbed to the second field and pressed the space bar.

Then I tabbed to another field and typed in ASSC.

Eventually I was allowed to exit the form.

Then, I noticed that all of the ASSC articles were
auto-selected (more visible).

It would have been nicer if all of the non-ASSC articles
were made invisible.

Lately I've been using nn & trn to read news.

trn has a great feature:

when you are looking at the subject lines,
type O (shift - o)
then type s (not shift - s)

All of the articles will get sorted by Subject.

All of the ASSC articles will stick together.

Made me think of a SPAM sandwhich.
