because it does not appear if I start tin the usual way, e.g.:

It's printed before starting curses, so at leat it shall still be
visible after ending tin.

I use Tin from the "hardware" TTYs (Ctrl+Alt+F2-F8) with no back
scrolling.  Upon exit from Tin, all I see is a blank screen with
the prompt at the bottom.  This is why I kept missing this warning.

Anyway I fixed the sleep(4) which got lost
and added a no posting hint to that message.

Thank you.  I think that forcing the user to read the warning and
press Enter to continue would also be a good option for the those
with slow reactions, e.g.:

    # Have user confirm warnings instead of auto-hiding them after
    # a delay:
    confirm_warnings=YES

With the next version (2.6.4) there will be a connection info screen
('J') which will also hold that info.

That sounds useful, and I hope it will look so, too.
