Package: tin
Version: 1:1.9.4-1
Severity: normal

(This is probably a duplicate of #323449, but I'm reluctant to reopen
that bug.)


Here's a long pet peeve of mine: tin never times out when reading from
the NNTP connection.  If the link goes down, it will nevertheless wait
for all eternity for a packet that will never arrive.

It'd be nice if someone could resurrect NNTP_READ_TIMEOUT, which is
currently commented-out in include/nntplib.h.
