config anomalies in tin:

different variable names in tinrc file and struct tinrc:
post_process_type	tinrc.post_process
show_only_unread	tinrc.show_only_unread_arts
default_maildir		tinrc.maildir
default_savedir		tinrc.savedir
default_printer		tinrc.printer
default_editor_format	tinrc.editor_format
default_mailer_format	tinrc.mailer_format
default_sigfile		tinrc.sigfile
default_filter_days	tinrc.filter_days

changing the struct tinrc names can help cleaning up read/write_config_file()
a lot if variable name is saved in option_table (t_option should hold the
variable name).

not in struct option_table, but different variable names in tinrc
file and struct tinrc:
default_author_search	tinrc.default_search_author
default_config_search	tinrc.default_search_config
default_group_search	tinrc.default_search_group
default_subject_search	tinrc.default_search_subject
default_art_search	tinrc.default_search_art
default_repost_group	tinrc.default_repost_group

integrate txt_tinrc_colors in txt_col_normal.tinrc

Values of post_mime_encoding and mail_mime_encoding are generated from a
list.

news_headers_to_display, news_headers_to_not_display must be converted to a
string before writing to tinrc file.

quote_chars must be converted by quote_space_to_dash() before writing to
tinrc file.

art_marked_deleted, art_marked_inrange, art_marked_return,
art_marked_selected, art_marked_recent, art_marked_unread, art_marked_read,
art_marked_killed and art_marked_read_selected must be converted by
SPACE_TO_DASH() before writing to tinrc file.

default_filter_kill_case and default_filter_select_case write inverted values
to tinrc file (not really a problem -- these are not in option_table and must
be handled explicitly anyway)
