   I know nothing about tin (or any other newsreader other than trn), but I   
   would hazard a guess that this (not quoting sigs) is a feature that can be   
   turned off.  Of course, you will have to figure out how...   
      
   Anyway, as noted above, trn doesn't do anything like what Louis is   
   suggesting.   
      
   --   
   Just like Donald Trump today, Jesus Christ had a Messiah complex.   
      
   And, in fact, the similarities between the two figures are quite striking.   
   For example, both have a ragtag band of followers, whose faith cannot be   
   shaken.
