Note that trn4 is *not* a simple replacement for trn. It has a similar
interface but a completely different configuration system and a different
(and disjoint) set of bugs.
That being said, people who are still using trn should probably be
investigating better-supported newsreaders such as slrn.

I play this regularly. Please orphan before simply removing; the problems
don't look particularly hard to fix. There is a much, much newer upstream
version and it looks like it's been ported to GTK 2. I'll take this one
if no one else steps forward. Orphaning gives a real chance at
volunteers.
