The mostly very silly spam is trivial to filter with some very simple
rules, most newsreaders have easy ways to specify subjects and/or
senders to ignore. I have (I think) just three or four rules that
eliminate just about all the junk.

I have always tried to enforce 'only one return per function'. If

So getyn() reads a y or an n, ignores anything else and doesn't wait
for a return key. Keyboard input operation is restored to normal

k? It feels rather clumsy.
I suppose I could test if the directory exists before the os.mkdir()
but again that feels a bit clumsy somehow.
I suppose also I could use os.mkdirs() with exist_ok=True but again
that feels vaguely wrong somehow.

an't see an easy way to actually inspect the message

That's sort of in the same area as a stopped clock being right more
