I just saw this.  Ssmtp checks for an empty line by testing the first
character being a \n.  I'm not familar with the mail-related RFCs.  Is
it allowed to send lines with DOS lineendings?  In that case it's a fault
in ssmtp.  Otherwise... are you using textmode mounts?  What editor are
you using to create mails/news in tin?  Please send also an attached
cygcheck output as descibed on http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
