I've used slrn (and tin) from time to time, and always miss the ability 
to click URL's, which is the single largest problem I have with slrn.

Why? I mean, I *LOVE* BBEdit, but why not use a command line editor?

Either way, if I was to use slrn/tin I would do so on a remote server, 
SSH'ing in to it to launch slrn, so BBEdit wouldn't be a choice then - 
unless there is a compelling reason to use BBEdit, that is.

Please tell me more about this BB workflow
