SYNOPSIS

9       tin  [[-h|-H|-V] |  [[[-a]  [-dlnq|-Q]  [-ArzxX]] [[-R|-S] -s News_dir]
10       [-cuvZ] [-4|-6] [-N|-M address] [-o|-w]]  [-D  debug_level]  [-G  arti‐
11       cle_limit] [-f newsrc_file] [-g server] [-m Mail_dir] [-p port] [-I in‐
12       dex_dir] [newsgroup[,...]]]

DESCRIPTION

15       tin is a full-screen easy to use Usenet newsreader. It  can  read  news
16       locally (e.g., /var/spool/news) or remotely (rtin or tin -r option) via
17       an NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) server. It will automatically
18       utilize  NOV  newsoverview(5) style index files if available locally or
19       via the NNTP [X]OVER command (RFC2980, RFC3977).
20
21       tin has four separate  levels  of  operation:  Selection  level,  Group
22       level,  Thread  level  and Article level. Use the Help ('h') command to
23       view a list of the commands available at a particular level.
24
25       On startup tin will show a list of the newsgroups found in  ${TIN_HOME‐
26       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc.  An  arrow '->' or highlighted bar will point to
27       the first newsgroup. Move to a group by using the terminal  arrow  keys
28       (terminal  dependent) or Down ('j') and Up ('k'). Use PgUp/PgDn (termi‐
29       nal dependent) or PageUp ('^U') (CTRL-U) and PageDown  ('^D')  (CTRL-D)
30       to page up/down. Enter a newsgroup by pressing '<CR>'.
31
32       The  GroupNextUnreadArtOrGrp  ('<TAB>')  key  enters the next newsgroup
33       with unread articles.
34

EXIT STATUS

36       0      Successful program execution. No unread news available in  batch
37              mode.

39       1      Usage, syntax, configuration file or network error.
40
41       2      Unread news available (batch mode (''-Z'') only).
42
43       3      NNTP error.

OPTIONS

46       -4          Force  connecting  via IPv4 to the remote NNTP server. Only
47                   available when build with IPv6 support.
48
49       -6          Force connecting via IPv6 to the remote NNTP  server.  Only
50                   available when build with IPv6 support.
51
52       -a          Toggle ANSI color (default is off).
53
54       -A          Force  authentication  on  initial  connect. Only available
55                   when reading via NNTP.
56
57       -c          Create/update index files for every  group  in  ${TIN_HOME‐
58                   DIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc  or  file specified by the ''-f'' op‐
59                   tion and mark all articles as read.
60
61       -d          Don't load newsgroup descriptions and  servers  message  of
62                   the day (interactive mode).
63
64       -D debug-level
65                   Enter  debug-level  (1  = NNTP, 2 = filter, 4 = newsrc, 8 =
66                   threading, 16 = memory, 32 = attributes, 64 = misc,  128  =
67                   remove  existing  debug files).  For NNTP-level ''-v'' con‐
68                   trols the verbosity of the output.
69
70       -f file     Use the specified file of subscribed to newsgroups in place
71                   of ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc.
72
73       -g server   Use   the   server  and  newsrc  specified  in  ${TIN_HOME‐
74                   DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/newsrctable. Only available when reading
75                   via NNTP.
76
77       -G article-limit
78                   Limit  the  number  of  articles/group to retrieve from the
79                   server.  If article-limit is > 0 not more than the last ar‐
80                   ticle-limit  articles/group are fetched from the server. If
81                   article-limit is < 0 tin will start fetching articles  from
82                   your  first  unread  minus absolute value of article-limit.
83                   Default is 0, which means no limit.
84
85       -h          Help listing all command-line options.
86
87       -H          Brief introduction to tin that is also shown the first time
88                   it is started.
89
90       -I dir      Directory  in which to store newsgroup index files. Default
91                   is                        ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR:-"${TIN_HOME‐
92                   DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/.news.   This  option has no effect if
93                   tin retrieves its index  files  via  NNTP  and  cache_over‐
94                   view_files is turned off.
95
96       -l          Get  number  of  articles  per  group  from  the ${TIN_LIB‐
97                   DIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active} file. If read‐
98                   ing  via NNTP this is done with the LIST command (RFC3977).
99                   This might result in incorrect article counts but  is  usu‐
100                   ally   faster  than  the  default  which  is  to  read  the
101                   ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active}  file
102                   (either  directly  or  via LIST) and then check the article
103                   count via NNTP GROUP command (RFC3977) ''-ln''. If  reading
104                   via  NNTP  and  LIST  COUNTS (RFC6048) is available that is
105                   used instead as it gives more accurate article counts.
106
107       -m dir      Mailbox  directory   to   use.   Default   is   ${TIN_HOME‐
108                   DIR:-"$HOME"}/Mail.
109
110       -M user     Mail  unread  articles to specified user for later reading.
111                   For more information read section  "AUTOMATIC  MAILING  AND
112                   SAVING NEW NEWS".
113
114       -n          Only    load   groups   from   the   ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIB‐
115                   DIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active} file that  are  subscribed
116                   to  in the user's ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc. This al‐
117                   lows a noticeable speedup when connecting via a slow  line,
118                   but  tin may not be able detect which groups are moderated.
119                   See also ''-l''.
120
121       -N          Mail unread articles to yourself  for  later  reading.  For
122                   more information read section "AUTOMATIC MAILING AND SAVING
123                   NEW NEWS".
124
125       -o          Quick post all postponed articles and exit.  In  order  for
126                   this  to  be really quick, it should be used with ''-n'' if
127                   possible.
128
129       -p port     Port to use if reading via NNTP (default is 119). This also
130                   overrides  the  environment variable $NNTPPORT if set. Only
131                   available when reading via NNTP.
132
133       -q          Don't check for new newsgroups and skip loading the servers
134                   message of the day.
135
136       -Q          Quick  start.  Start  tin as quickly as possible. Currently
137                   this is equivalent to ''-dnq''.
138
139       -r          Read news remotely from the default NNTP  server  specified
140                   in the environment variable $NNTPSERVER or contained in the
141                   file /etc/nntpserver.
142
143       -R          Read news saved by the ''-S'' option.
144
145       -s dir      Save/read articles to/in directory. Default is  ${TIN_HOME‐
146                   DIR:-"$HOME"}/News.
147
148       -S          Save  unread  articles  for later reading by the ''-R'' op‐
149                   tion. For more information read section "AUTOMATIC  MAILING
150                   AND SAVING NEW NEWS".
151
152       -u          Create/update  index  files  for every group in ${TIN_HOME‐
153                   DIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc or file specified by the  ''-f''  op‐
154                   tion.  This  option  is disabled if tin retrieves its index
155                   files via an NNTP server and cache_overview_files is turned
156                   off.
157
158       -v          Verbose  mode  for  ''-c'', ''-D'', ''-M'', ''-N'', ''-S'',
159                   ''-u'' and ''-Z'' options. Can be used  multiple  times  to
160                   increase verbosity.
161
162       -V          Print version and date information.
163
164       -w          Quick  mode  to  post an article and then exit. This option
165                   implies ''-d''. In order for this to be  really  quick,  it
166                   should be used with ''-n'' if possible.
167
168       -x          No-posting  mode.  You cannot post articles if you use this
169                   option.
170
171       -X          No  overwrite  mode.  ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc   and
172                   files in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin will not be overwrit‐
173                   ten but may be created if they don't exist.
174
175       -z          Only start tin if there is any new/unread news. If there is
176                   news  tin  will  position cursor at first group with unread
177                   news. Useful for putting in login file.
178
179       -Z          Check if there is any new/unread news and exit with  appro‐
180                   priate  status. If ''-v'' option is specified the number of
181                   unread articles in each group is printed. An  exit  code  0
182                   indicates  no  news,  1  that  an error occurred and 2 that
183                   new/unread news exists. Useful for writing scripts.
184
185       tin can also dynamically change its options  by  the  OptionMenu  ('M')
186       command. Any changes are written to ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc.
187       For more information see section "GLOBAL OPTIONS MENU AND TINRC CONFIG‐
188       URABLE VARIABLES" and tin(5).
189
190       A list of groups can be specified after the other command-line options.
191       This can be useful if you wish to yank in or subscribe to a hand-picked
192       subset  of  the  active  newsgroups. See the section "NEWSGROUP LISTS &
193       WILDCARDS" for the types of pattern that tin understands.
194
195       If you specify a single group-name, or a wildcard that matches a single
196       group, then you will automatically enter that group. Otherwise the nor‐
197       mal group selection screen will  appear,  but  with  all  the  matching
198       groups present too, as though you had yanked just those groups in.
199
200       With  the  ''-w''  flag  a given group-name is used as default group to
201       post to. If more than one group or a wildcard  is  specified  only  the
202       first group respectively the first group that matches is used.
203
204       Once  you  use  SelectYankActive ('y') to yank in all active groups, or
205       SelectToggleReadDisplay ('r') to toggle the  read/unread  status,  then
206       the  command-line groups will be gone. You can use SelectSyncWithActive
207       ('Y') to reread  the  ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-ac‐
208       tive} file and get them back.
209
210       NB:  With  the ''-n'' flag, only unsubscribed groups in the ${TIN_HOME‐
211       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc file (or the newsrc-file given by the ''-f'' com‐
212       mand-line  switch  or via ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/newsrctable) can
213       be matched.
214
215       Command-line options have higher priority than attributes and tinrc op‐
216       tions.  Thus, command-line option takes precedence over configured val‐
217       ues.
218

USAGE

220   NEWS ADMINISTRATION
221       Maintaining Netnews on large networks of machines can be a pretty  time
222       consuming  job  as I discovered when I was given the job of maintaining
223       our news system and news users.
224
225       A user starting tin for the first time can be automatically  subscribed
226       to  a list of newsgroups that are deemed appropriate by the news admin‐
227       istrator. The subscriptions file should be created in your news lib di‐
228       rectory  (i.e.,  ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}/subscriptions) and should be
229       world readable. If you read news via NNTP, then your news  server  must
230       support the LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS command. It is part of the NNTP List Ex‐
231       tensions (RFC6048) and all modern servers should understand it.
232
233   SCREEN FORMAT
234       tin has four separate  levels  of  operation:  Selection  level,  Group
235       level, Thread level and Article level.
236
237       At  the Selection level the title displays (the name of the news server
238       and) the number of subscribed groups (containing new unread  articles).
239       The  newsgroups  are displayed in the middle of the screen usually with
240       the number of unread articles displayed on the same line in front,  but
241       it can be customized via select_format.

249       There  may  also be a character prefixing the line. An explanation fol‐
250       lows:
251
252       u         This group is  unsubscribed.  To  see  only  your  subscribed
253                 groups use the SelectToggleReadDisplay ('r') or SelectYankAc‐
254                 tive ('y') toggle keys.
255
256       M         This is a moderated group. Any posts you make will have to be
257                 approved  by  the  group administrator before it will be made
258                 public. tin will ask for confirmation before you  post  to  a
259                 moderated group.
260
261       N         This is a new newsgroup which has been created since you last
262                 used tin. New newsgroups are not  subscribed  to  by  default
263                 (However,  see the $AUTOSUBSCRIBE / $AUTOUNSUBSCRIBE environ‐
264                 ment variables).  Subscribe to it in the normal  way  if  you
265                 wish  the group to continue to appear in your Selection Menu.
266                 Simply ignore new newsgroups and they will be gone  the  next
267                 time  you  start tin. You will have to yank in all the groups
268                 to find them in a later session.
269
270       D         This group no longer exists. If you no  longer  wish  to  see
271                 this  group  then unsubscribe from it in the normal way. This
272                 flag will only appear if you have set strip_bogus to "ask" in
273                 the Options Menu.
274
275       X         You  may  no  longer  make posts to this group. Often a group
276                 will be superseded by a more appropriately named one.
277
278       =         This group has been renamed and you may no longer post to it.
279                 If  you  do,  then  you  will receive an error from your news
280                 server telling you the correct group to post to.
281
282       At the Group level the title contains the name of the group, the number
283       of conversation threads, the abbreviated threading method (thread_arti‐
284       cles), the limit of articles to get (if set; getart_limit),  the  total
285       number of (unread) articles (art_marked_read or art_marked_unread), the
286       number of hot articles art_marked_selected, the number of read hot  ar‐
287       ticles  (if  any; art_marked_read_selected), the number of recent arti‐
288       cles  (art_marked_recent)   and   the   number   of   killed   articles
289       (art_marked_killed). I.e.:
290
291                   alt.sources (5B -50/23+ 0* 3o 0K)
292
293       The characters after the numbers are depending to the configuration and
294       if your are in show_only_unread_arts mode or not. Some numbers could be
295       missing if the specific option is not enabled. It might also contain an
296       'M', 'X' or '=' (see above; doesn't work with the  ''-n''  command-line
297       switch!) if the group is moderated, set to no posting or postings to it
298       get redirected.
299
300       If a thread has unread articles it is marked with art_marked_unread  in
301       front  of  the total number of articles in the thread. If there are re‐
302       cent articles within the thread it might be marked with  art_marked_re‐
303       cent  in  front of the total number of articles in the thread — this is
304       controlled by the recent_time option. If a thread has hot  articles  in
305       it   (see   also   section   "FILTERING  ARTICLES")  it's  marked  with
306       art_marked_selected in front of the total number  of  articles  in  the
307       thread. The number of lines of the first (unread) article in the thread
308       might also be shown right before the subject — this  is  controlled  by

349   COMMON EDITING COMMANDS
350       An emacs(1) style editing package allows  the  easy  editing  of  input
351       strings.   A  history  list allows the easy reuse of previously entered
352       strings.  In addition to the cursor keys, the  following  commands  are
353       available when editing a string:
354
355       ^A, ^E    move to beginning or end of line, respectively.
356
357       ^F, ^B    non-destructive  move  forward  or back one location, respec‐
358                 tively.
359
360       ^D        delete the character currently under the cursor, or send  EOF
361                 if no characters in the buffer.
362
363       ^H, <DEL> delete character left of the cursor.
364
365       ^K        delete from cursor to end of line.
366
367       ^P, ^N    move through history, previous and next, respectively.
368
369       ^L, ^R    redraw the current line.
370
371       <CR>      places line on history list if non-blank, appends newline and
372                 returns to the caller.
373
374       <ESC>     aborts the present editing operation.
375
376   GLOBAL COMMANDS
377       The following commands are available at all 4 menu  levels  and  always
378       have the same effect.
379
380       ShellEscape '!'
381                 Shell  escape.  ShellEscape  by  itself  will launch a shell,
382                 ShellEscape <command> will run an  external  <command>.  This
383                 facility may have been disabled by the System Administrator.
384
385       ToggleColor '&'
386                 Toggle use of ANSI color.
387
388       RedrawScr '^L'
389                 Redraw the current screen.
390
391       ScrollUp '<'
392                 Scroll screen up by one line.
393
394       ScrollDown '>'
395                 Scroll screen down by one line.
396
397       Postponed 'O' '^O'
398                 Reload postponed article. If your system blocks the Postponed
399                 key you must quote it by pressing '^V'  (CTRL-V)  first.  The
400                 postpone-menu offers the following actions: PromptYes ('y') =
401                 reload and spawn editor; PostponeOverride ('Y') = post  arti‐
402                 cle  (without  spawning editor); PostponeAll ('A') = post all
403                 postponed articles (without spawning editor); PromptNo  ('n')
404                 =  skip  this article; Quit ('q') = quit postponed menu. Cur‐
405                 rently there is no 'simple' way to delete a postponed article
406                 from  the  postponed-file, you have to use the following com‐
407                 mand sequence instead: reload it with Postponed, enter editor
408                 with  PromptYes,  quit  editor,  discard  posting  with  Quit
409                 ('^O''y''q'). See also ''-o'' command-line switch.

607                 Search backwards for specified subject.
608
609       GroupSelThd '*'
610                 Select current thread for later processing.
611
612       GroupDoAutoSel '+'
613                 Selects all threads in current group. It is  a  shortcut  for
614                 calling GroupSelPattern with a pattern of ''*''.
615
616       GroupToggleThdSel '.'
617                 Toggle  selection  of  current thread. If at least one unread
618                 article, (but not every unread article) in the current thread
619                 is selected, then all unread articles become selected.
620
621       GroupSelThdIfUnreadSelected ';'
622                 For  each  thread in current group, if it at least one unread
623                 article is selected, all  unread  articles  become  selected.
624                 This  is  useful  for  auto-selection  on author where reader
625                 wants to see entire thread.
626
627       GroupSelPattern '='
628                 Prompts for a pattern with which to  match  on.  All  threads
629                 whose  subjects  match the pattern will be marked selected. A
630                 pattern of ''*''  will  match  all  subjects.  Entering  just
631                 '<CR>' will re-use the last pattern that was entered.
632
633       GroupReverseSel '@'
634                 Reverse all selections on all articles.
635
636       GroupUndoSel '~'

638                 fect of GroupMarkUnselArtRead ('X') command. Thus after first
639                 doing  a  GroupMarkUnselArtRead, one can then do GroupUndoSel
640                 to reset articles. Thus, one can iteratively whittle down un‐
641                 interesting threads.

1047                 key-press acts like a reveal key and turns  the  hidden  text
1048                 back  on. Scrolling down will also reveal the text, scrolling
1049                 up will hide it again.

1340   POSTING HISTORY LISTING
1341       DisplayPostHist ('W') displays a list of all previous  posted  articles
1342       stored  in  ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/posted. The following informa‐
1343       tiosn are shown: a time stamp in "dd-mm-yy"-format, a single letter in‐
1344       dicating the action which initiated the message, the group names (evet‐
1345       ually shortened, see also abbreviate_groupname) or a mail  address  the
1346       message  was sent to and the subject of the message. Besides the common
1347       moving keys, the following commands are available:
1348
1349           PostedArticlesSelect '^J' '<CR>'
1350                     The article with  the  current  ''Message-ID:''  will  be
1351                     opened  if  available.   Note that this requires that the
1352                     ''Message-ID:''  of   the   article   was   recorded   in
1353                     ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/posted  which may not always
1354                     be the case.  If using NNTP and the internal  inews  (in‐

1357                     or  tin  is build to generate ''Message-ID:'' this should
1358                     be the case. With an external inews (and reading from lo‐

1384   GLOBAL OPTIONS MENU AND TINRC CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
1385       At startup, tin reads in the configuration  files  (see  also  tin(5)).
1386       They  contain a list of variables that can be used to configure the way
1387       tin works. If it exists, the global configuration file,  /etc/tin/tinrc
1388       is  read.  After  that,  the user's own configuration file is read from
1389       ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc. The global file is useful for  dis‐
1390       tributing  system-wide  defaults to new users who have no private tinrc
1391       yet.
1392
1393       The  variables   are   user   configurable   by   editing   ${TIN_HOME‐
1394       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc  directly. Most of them can also be set in the
1395       GLOBAL OPTIONS MENU which is accessed by pressing OptionMenu  ('M')  at
1396       all  levels.  It  allows the user to customize the behavior of tin. The
1397       options are saved to the file  ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc  when
1398       you exit tin so don't edit the file directly whilst tin is running.
1399
1400       In  the  options  menu  use  the  cursor  keys in the usual way to move
1401       around. Use ConfigSelect ('^J' or '<CR>') to 'open' the option you wish
1402       to  change. You will need to enter a new value or use '<SPACE>' to tog‐
1403       gle the available  options.  ConfigSelect  will  save  the  new  value,
1404       '<ESC>' will abort without saving changes.
1405
1406       As  with  the other menus, RedrawScr ('^L') will redraw the screen. You
1407       can use SearchSubjF ('/'), SearchSubjB ('?') and SearchRepeat ('\')  to
1408       search  for  a  specific option. Use Quit ('q') to exit the option menu
1409       and keep your changes. Use QuitTin ('Q') to exit without  keeping  your
1410       changes.
1411
1412       The options menu provides access to the attributes menu for the current
1413       group by the ConfigToggleAttrib ('<TAB>') command. Pressing  ConfigTog‐
1414       gleAttrib  again toggles back to the options menu. For more information
1415       see section "ATTRIBUTES MENU AND GROUP ATTRIBUTES".
1416
1417       The ConfigScopeMenu ('S') command brings up the scopes menu.  For  more
1418       information see section "SCOPES MENU".
1419
1420       Here  is a full list of all the available variables. The name in braces
1421       is   the   name   of   the   corresponding   setting   in   ${TIN_HOME‐
1422       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc.

1741           Allows groups/articles to be selected by an arrow '->' if set ON or
1742           by a highlighted bar if set OFF. Default is OFF.
1743
1744       Invocation of your editor (editor_format)
1745           The  format string used to create the editor start command with pa‐
1746           rameters.  Default is '%E +%N %F' with %E=Editor, %N=Linenumber and
1747           %F=Filename (e.g., /bin/vi +7 .article). See also $VISUAL and $EDI‐
1748           TOR under "ENVIRONMENT".
1749
1750       Detection of external quotes (extquote_handling)
1751           If ON quotes from external sources will  be  detected.  Default  is
1752           OFF.
1753
1754       Regex used to show external quotes (extquote_regex)
1755           A  regular  expression  that will be applied when reading articles.
1756           All matching lines are shown in col_extquote. If extquote_regex  is
1757           blank, then tin uses a built-in default.
1758
1759       Force redraw after certain commands (force_screen_redraw)
1760           Specifies  whether a screen redraw should always be done after cer‐
1761           tain external commands. Default is OFF.
1762
1763       Number of articles to get (getart_limit)
1764           If getart_limit is > 0 not more than the  last  getart_limit  arti‐
1765           cles/group  are fetched from the server. If getart_limit is < 0 tin
1766           will start fetching articles from your first unread minus  absolute
1767           value of getart_limit. Default is 0, which means no limit.
1768
1769       Catchup group using left key (group_catchup_on_exit)
1770           If  ON  catchup group when leaving with the left arrow key. Default
1771           is ON.
1772
1773       Format string for the Group level (group_format)
1774           Format string tin uses for Group level representation. See the sec‐
1775           tion     "CUSTOMIZING    THE    SCREEN    FORMAT".    Default    is
1776           "%n %m %R %L  %s  %F".
1777
1778       Go to the next unread article with (goto_next_unread)
1779           Which keys tin should accept to jump to the  next  unread  article.
1780           Possible  is  any combination of PageDown and PageNextUnread.  When
1781           PageDown is set tin jumps to the next article at  the  end  of  the
1782           current  one.  When  PageNextUnread is set tin jumps immediately to
1783           the next article when PageNextUnread ('<TAB>') is pressed.  Default
1784           is PageNextUnread.
1785
1786       Display uue data as an attachment (hide_uue)
1787           If  set  to  'No'  then  raw uuencoded data is displayed. If set to
1788           'Yes' then sections of uuencoded data will be shown with  a  single
1789           tag line showing the size and filename (much the same as a MIME at‐
1790           tachment).  If set to 'Hide all' then  any  line  that  looks  like
1791           uuencoded  data will be folded into a tag line. This is useful when
1792           uuencoded data is split across more than one article but  can  also
1793           lead  to  false  positives. This setting can also be toggled in the
1794           article viewer.  Default is 'No'.
1795
1796       External inews (inews_prog)
1797           Path, name and options of external inews(1).  If  you  are  reading
1798           via  NNTP  the default value is "--internal" (use built-in NNTP in‐
1799           ews), else it is "inews -h". The article is passed to inews_prog on
1800           STDIN via '< article'.
1801
1802       (info_in_last_line)
1803           If  ON,  show  current  group description or article subject in the
1804           last line (not in the pager and global menu)  —  ToggleInfoLastLine
1805           ('i') toggles setting. This facility is useful as the full width of
1806           the screen is available to display long subjects. Default is OFF.
1807
1808       Use interactive mail reader (interactive_mailer)
1809           Interactive mailreader: if greater than 0 your mailreader  will  be
1810           invoked earlier for reply so you can use more of its features (e.g.
1811           MIME, pgp, ...). 1 means include headers,  2  means  don't  include
1812           headers  (old  use_mailreader_i=ON option). 0 turns off usage. This
1813           option has to suit mailer_format. Default is 0.
1814
1815       Use inverse video for page headers (inverse_okay)
1816           If ON use inverse video for page headers and URL highlighting.  De‐
1817           fault is ON.
1818
1819       Keep failed arts in ~/dead.articles (keep_dead_articles)
1820           If  ON keep all failed postings in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/dead.ar‐
1821           ticles besides keeping  the  last  failed  posting  in  ${TIN_HOME‐
1822           DIR:-"$HOME"}/dead.article. Default is ON.
1823
1824       Filter which articles (kill_level)
1825           This  option  controls  the processing and display of articles that
1826           are killed.  There are 3 options:
1827
1828            0  Kill only unread arts is the  'traditional'  behavior  of  tin.
1829               Only unread articles are killed once only by marking them read.
1830               As filtering only happens on unread  articles  with  kill_level
1831               set  to  0,  art_marked_killed and art_marked_read_selected are
1832               only shown once. When you reenter the group the  mark  will  be
1833               gone.
1834
1835            1  Kill  all  arts  & show with K will process all articles in the
1836               group and therefore there is a processing overhead  when  using
1837               this  option.  Killed  articles are threaded as normal but they
1838               will be marked with art_marked_killed.
1839
1840            2  Kill all arts and never show will process all articles  in  the
1841               group  and  therefore there is a processing overhead when using
1842               this option. Killed articles simply does not get  displayed  at
1843               all.
1844       Default is 0 (Kill only unread arts).
1845
1846       Use 8bit characters in mail headers (mail_8bit_header)
1847           Allows 8bit characters unencoded in the header of mail message. De‐
1848           fault is OFF. Turning it ON is effective only if mail_mime_encoding
1849           is also set to 8bit. Leaving it OFF is safe for most users and com‐
1850           pliant to Internet Mail Standard (RFC5322 and RFC2047). Default  is
1851           OFF.
1852
1853       Mail address (mail_address)
1854           User's  mail address (and full name), if not username@host. This is
1855           used when creating articles, sending mail and when pgp(1) /  gpg(1)
1856           signing (RFC4880).
1857
1858       MIME encoding in mail messages (mail_mime_encoding)
1859           MIME  encoding  of  the  body  in mail message, if necessary (8bit,
1860           base64, quoted-printable, 7bit). Default is quoted-printable.
1861
1862       Quote line when mailing (mail_quote_format)
1863           Format of quote line when replying (via mail) to an article (%A=Ad‐
1864           dress,  %D=Date,  %F=Fullname+Address, %G=Groupname, %M=Message-ID,
1865           %N=Fullname, %C=Firstname, %I=Initials). Default is "In article  %M
1866           you wrote:"
1867
1868       Format of the mailbox (mailbox_format)
1869           Select one of the following mailbox-formats: MBOXO (default, except
1870           on SCO), MBOXRD or MMDF (default on SCO). See mbox(5)  and  RFC4155
1871           for  more  details on MBOXO and MBOXRD and mmdf(5) for more details
1872           about MMDF.
1873
1874       Mail directory (maildir)
1875           The directory where articles/threads are to  be  saved  in  mbox(5)
1876           format.  This  feature is mainly for use with the mutt(1) mail pro‐
1877           gram. It allows the user to save articles/threads/groups simply  by
1878           giving  '='  as  the  filename  to save to.  Default is ${TIN_HOME‐
1879           DIR:-"$HOME"}/Mail.
1880
1881       Invocation of your mail command (mailer_format)
1882           The format string used to create the mailer command with parameters
1883           that  is  used for mailing articles to other people. Default is '%M
1884           "%T" < %F' (e.g., /bin/mail "iain" < .article). The flexible format
1885           allows  other  mailers with different command line parameters to be
1886           used such as
1887              sendmail -oem -t < %F
1888              mutt -s "%S" -- "%T" < "%F"
1889              claws-mail --compose "mailto:%T?subject=%S&insert=%F"
1890           interactive_mailer must be set adequate.  The  following  substitu‐
1891           tions are supported:
1892              %F              filename
1893              %M              default_mailer
1894              %S              subject-field
1895              %T              to-filed
1896              %U              username
1897              %%              %
1898
1899       'Mark as (un)read' ignores tags (mark_ignore_tags)
1900           When  this  is  ON,  the  GroupMarkThdRead ('K'), ThreadMarkArtRead
1901           ('K'), MarkThdUnread ('Z') at Group level and  MarkArtUnread  ('z')
1902           at  Thread level functions mark just the current article or thread,
1903           ignoring other tagged, (un)read articles. When OFF, the same  func‐
1904           tion presents a menu with choices of the current thread or article,
1905           all tagged, unread articles, or nothing.
1906
1907       Mark saved articles/threads as read (mark_saved_read)
1908           If ON mark articles that are saved as read. Default is ON.
1909
1910       Viewer program for MIME articles (metamail_prog)
1911           Path, name and options of external metamail(1) program used to view
1912           non-textual  parts of articles.  To use the built-in viewer, set to
1913           --internal. This is the default value when metamail(1) is  not  in‐
1914           stalled.  Leave it blank if you don't want any automatic viewing of
1915           non-textual attachments. The PageViewAttach ('V') command  can  al‐
1916           ways   be   used   to  manually  view  any  attachments.  See  also
1917           ask_for_metamail.
1918
1919       MM_CHARSET (mm_charset)
1920           Charset supported locally, which  is  also  used  for  MIME  header
1921           (charset parameter and charset name in header encoding) in mail and
1922           news postings. If MIME_STRICT_CHARSET is defined at  compile  time,
1923           text  in  charset other than the value of this parameter is consid‐
1924           ered not displayable and represented as '?'. Otherwise, all charac‐
1925           ter  sets  are regarded as compatible with the display. If it's not
1926           set, the value of the environment variable $MM_CHARSET is used. US-
1927           ASCII  or  compile-time  default is used in case neither of them is
1928           defined. If your system supports iconv(3), this option is  disabled
1929           and you should use mm_network_charset instead.
1930
1931       MM_NETWORK_CHARSET (mm_network_charset)
1932           Charset  used  for  posting  and MIME headers; replaces mm_charset.
1933           Conversion between mm_network_charset and local charset (determined
1934           via  nl_langinfo(3))  is done via iconv(3), if this function is not
1935           available on your system this option is disabled and  you  have  to
1936           use mm_charset instead. mm_network_charset is limited to one of the
1937           following charsets:
1938              US-ASCII, ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,14,15,16}, KOI8-{R,U,RU}
1939              EUC-{CN,JP,KR,TW},    ISO-2022-{CN,CN-EXT,JP,JP-1,JP-2},   Big5,
1940              UTF-8
1941           Not all values might work on your  system,  see  iconv_open(3)  for
1942           more  details.  If it's not set, the value of the environment vari‐
1943           able $MM_CHARSET is used. US-ASCII or compile-time default is  used
1944           in case neither of them is defined.
1945
1946       Attribute of highlighting with _dash_ (mono_markdash)
1947           Character  attribute of words emphasized like _this_. It depends on
1948           your terminal which attributes are  usable.  See  also  word_h_dis‐
1949           play_marks and word_highlight.
1950
1951       Attribute of highlighting with /slash/ (mono_markslash)
1952           Character  attribute of words emphasized like /this/. It depends on
1953           your terminal which attributes are  usable.  See  also  word_h_dis‐
1954           play_marks and word_highlight.
1955
1956       Attribute of highlighting with *stars* (mono_markstar)
1957           Character  attribute of words emphasized like *this*. It depends on
1958           your terminal which attributes are  usable.  See  also  word_h_dis‐
1959           play_marks and word_highlight.
1960
1961       Attribute of highlighting with -stroke- (mono_markstroke)
1962           Character  attribute of words emphasized like -this-. It depends on
1963           your terminal which attributes are  usable.  See  also  word_h_dis‐
1964           play_marks and word_highlight.
1965
1966       (newnews)
1967           These  are  internal  timers used by tin to keep track of new news‐
1968           groups.  Do not change them unless you  understand  what  they  are
1969           for.
1970
1971       Display these header fields (or *) (news_headers_to_display)
1972           Which  news  headers  you wish to see. If you want to see _all_ the
1973           headers, place an '*' as this value. This is the only way  a  wild‐
1974           card can be used.  If you enter 'X-' as the value, you will see all
1975           headers beginning with 'X-' (like X-Alan or X-Pape). You  can  list
1976           more  than  one  by  delimiting  with spaces. Not defining anything
1977           turns off this option.
1978
1979       Do not display these header fields (news_headers_to_not_display)
1980           Same as news_headers_to_display except it denotes the opposite.  An
1981           example  of using both options might be if you thought 'X-' headers
1982           were A Good Thing(tm), but thought Alan and Pape were miscreants...
1983           well  then  you  would do something like this: news_headers_to_dis‐
1984           play=X- news_headers_to_not_display=X-Alan X-Pape Not defining any‐
1985           thing turns off this option.
1986
1987       Quote line when following up (news_quote_format)
1988           Format  of  quote line when posting/following up an article (%A=Ad‐
1989           dress, %D=Date, %F=Fullname+Address,  %G=Groupname,  %M=Message-ID,
1990           %N=Fullname, %C=Firstname, %I=Initials). Default is "%F wrote:".
1991
1992       NNTP read timeout in seconds (nntp_read_timeout_secs)
1993           Time  in seconds to wait for a response from the server. Default is
1994           120.  Setting this to 0 means no timeout.
1995
1996       Unicode normalization form (normalization_form)
1997           The normalization form tin should use to normalize  unicode  input.
1998           The possible values are:
1999
2000            0  None: no normalization

2012               Composition and Case Folding
2013       Some  normalization  modes  are only available if they are supported by
2014       the library tin uses to do the normalization. NFC  should  be  used  if
2015       possible.
2016
2017       Go to first unread article in group (pos_first_unread)
2018           If ON put cursor at first unread article in group otherwise at last
2019           article. Default is ON.
2020
2021       Use 8bit characters in news headers (post_8bit_header)
2022           Allows 8bit characters unencoded in the header of a  news  article,
2023           if  set this also disables the generation of MIME-headers when they
2024           are usually required. Default is OFF. Only enacted if post_mime_en‐
2025           coding  is also set to 8bit. In a number of local hierarchies where
2026           8bit characters are used, using unencoded (raw) 8bit characters  in
2027           header  is  acceptable  and  sometimes even recommended so that you
2028           need to check the convention adopted in the local hierarchy of your
2029           interest to determine what to do with this and post_mime_encoding.
2030
2031       MIME encoding in news messages (post_mime_encoding)
2032           MIME  encoding  of  the  body in news message, if necessary. (8bit,
2033           base64, quoted-printable, 7bit). Default is 8bit, which leads to no
2034           encoding.   base64  and  quoted-printable  are usually undesired on
2035           usenet.
2036
2037       View post-processed files (post_process_view)
2038           If ON, then tin will start an appropriate viewer program to display
2039           any  files  that  were post processed and uudecoded. The program is
2040           determined using the mailcap(5) file. Default is ON.
2041
2042       Post process saved articles (post_process_type)
2043           This specifies whether to perform post processing  on  saved  arti‐
2044           cles.   Because  the shell archive may contain commands you may not
2045           want to be executed, be careful  when  extracting  shell  archives.
2046           The following values are allowed:
2047
2048            0  No (default), no post processing is done.
2049
2050            1  Shell archives, unpacking of multi-part shar(1) files only.
2051
2052            2  Yes, binary attachments and data will be decoded and saved.
2053
2054       Filename to be used for storing posted articles (posted_articles_file)
2055           Keep  posted articles in given file. If the given filename does not
2056           contain any expandable strings it will be prefixed with ${TIN_HOME‐
2057           DIR:-"$HOME"}/Mail/.  If  no filename is set then postings will not
2058           be saved. See the section "MAILING PIPING  PRINTING  REPOSTING  AND
2059           SAVING  ARTICLES"  for more information about the various expansion
2060           characters. Default is 'posted'.
2061
2062       Print all headers when printing (print_header)
2063           If ON, then the full article header is sent to the printer.  Other‐
2064           wise only the ''Subject:'' and ''From:'' fields are output. Default
2065           is OFF.
2066
2067       Printer program with options (printer)
2068           The printer program with options that is to be used to print  arti‐
2069           cles.   The  default  is lpr(1) for BSD machines and lp(1) for SysV
2070           machines. Printing from tin may have been disabled  by  the  System
2071           Administrator.
2072
2073       Process only unread articles (process_only_unread)
2074           If  ON  only  save/print/pipe/mail unread articles (tagged articles

2080
2081       Characters used as quote-marks (quote_chars)
2082           The  character  used  in quoting included text to article followups
2083           and mail replies. The '_' character represents  a  blank  character
2084           and is replaced with ' ' when read, %I is replaced by author's ini‐
2085           tials. Default is '>_'.
2086
2087       Quoting behavior (quote_style)
2088           How articles should be quoted when  following  up  or  replying  to
2089           them.  There  are  a number of things that can be done: empty lines
2090           can be quoted, signatures can be quoted and quote_chars can be com‐
2091           pressed  when  quoting multiple times (for example, '> > >' will be
2092           turned into '>>>'). The default is to compress quotes, and to quote
2093           empty lines.
2094           When  you  are viewing an article in raw mode ('^H'), and follow up
2095           or reply to it, the signature will be quoted even if it would  oth‐
2096           erwise  not be.  If show_signatures is off, then the signature will
2097           never be quoted.
2098
2099       Regex used to show quoted lines (quote_regex)
2100           A regular expression that will be applied  when  reading  articles.
2101           All matching lines are shown in col_quote. If quote_regex is blank,
2102           then tin uses a built-in default.
2103
2104       Regex used to show twice quoted l. (quote_regex2)
2105           A regular expression that will be applied  when  reading  articles.
2106           All  matching  lines  are  shown  in col_quote2. If quote_regex2 is
2107           blank, then tin uses a built-in default.
2108
2109       Regex used to show >= 3 times q.l. (quote_regex3)
2110           A regular expression that will be applied  when  reading  articles.
2111           All  matching  lines  are  shown  in col_quote3. If quote_regex3 is
2112           blank, then tin uses a built-in default.
2113
2114       Article recentness time limit (recent_time)

2228           tory  then the signature will be randomly generated from files that
2229           are in the specified directory. If the path starts  with  a  !  the
2230           program  the  path  points to will be executed to generate a signa‐
2231           ture. In order to pass the group name to the  program,  %G  can  be

2342           all articles to find also previous unread articles. If disabled the
2343           search stops at the end of the thread list. Default is ON.
2344
2345       Display "a as Umlaut-a (tex2iso_conv)
2346           If  ON, show "a as Umlaut-a, etc. Default is OFF. This behavior can
2347           also be toggled in the article viewer via PageToggleTex2iso ('"').
2348
2349       Thread articles by (thread_articles)
2350           Defines which threading method to use. It's  possible  to  set  the
2351           threading  type on a per group basis by setting the group attribute
2352           variable  thread_arts  to  0  –   4   in   the   file   ${TIN_HOME‐
2353           DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/attributes.  (See also "GROUP ATTRIBUTES".)  The
2354           default is Both Subject and References.  The choices are:
2355
2356            0  None, don't thread.
2357
2358            1  Subject, thread on ''Subject:'' only.
2359
2360            2  References, thread on ''References:'' only.
2361
2362            3  Both Subject and References,  thread  on  ''References:''  then
2363               ''Subject:'' (default).
2364
2365            4  Multipart Subject, thread multipart articles on ''Subject:''.
2366
2367            5  Percentage Match, thread base upon a partial character match on
2368               ''Subject:''.
2369
2370       Catchup thread by using left key (thread_catchup_on_exit)
2371           If ON catchup group/thread when leaving with the  left  arrow  key.
2372           Default is ON.
2373
2374       Format string for the Thread level (thread_format)
2375           Format  string  tin  uses  for Thread level representation. See the
2376           section   "CUSTOMIZING   THE    SCREEN    FORMAT".    Default    is
2377           "%n %m  [%L]  %T  %F".
2378
2379       Matchingness of a thread (thread_perc)
2380           How  closely  the subjects must match for two threads to be consid‐
2381           ered part of the same thread. This is a percentage and the  default
2382           if 75%.
2383
2384       Score of a thread (thread_score)
2385           How the total score of a thread is computed. Default is 0, the max‐
2386           imum score in this thread.
2387
2388            0  Max, the maximum score in this thread.
2389
2390            1  Sum, the sum of all scores in this thread.
2391
2392            2  Average, the average score in this thread.
2393
2394       Transliteration (translit)
2395           If ON append //TRANSLIT to the first argument of  iconv_open(3)  to
2396           enable  transliteration. This means that when a character cannot be
2397           represented in the target character set,  it  can  be  approximated
2398           through  one  or  several  similarly looking characters. On systems
2399           where this extension doesn't exist, this option  is  disabled.  De‐
2400           fault is OFF.
2401
2402       How to treat blank lines (trim_article_body)
2403           Allows  you to select how tin treats blank lines in article bodies.
2404           Default is 0. This option does not  affect  lines  within  verbatim
2405           blocks.
2406
2407            0  Don't trim article body, do nothing.
2408
2409            1  Skip leading blank lines.
2410
2411            2  Skip trailing blank lines.
2412
2413            3  Skip  leading  and trailing blank l., skip leading and trailing
2414               blank lines.
2415
2416            4  Compact multiple between text, replace multiple blank lines be‐
2417               tween text blocks with one blank line.
2418
2419            5  Compact multiple and skip leading, 4 + 1
2420
2421            6  Compact multiple and skip trailing, 4 + 2
2422
2423            7  Compact mltpl., skip lead. & trai., 4 + 3
2424
2425       Regex used to highlight _underline_ (underscores_regex)
2426           A  regular  expression  that will be applied when reading articles.
2427           All matching words are shown in col_markdash or  mono_markdash.  If
2428           underscores_regex is blank, then tin uses a built-in default.
2429
2430       Remove ~/.article after posting (unlink_article)
2431           If ON remove ~/.article after posting. Default is ON.
2432
2433       Program that opens URLs (url_handler)
2434           The  program  that  will  be run when launching URLs in the article
2435           viewer using PageViewUrl ('U'). The actual URL  will  be  appended.
2436           Default is url_handler.pl.
2437
2438       URL highlighting in message body (url_highlight)
2439           Enable highlighting URLs in message body. Default is ON.
2440
2441       Use ANSI color (use_color)
2442           If enabled tin uses ANSI-colors. Default is OFF.
2443
2444       Use scroll keys on keypad (use_keypad)
2445           Default is OFF.
2446
2447       Use mouse in xterm (use_mouse)
2448           Allows  the mouse button support in an xterm(1x) to be enabled/dis‐
2449           abled.  Default is OFF.
2450
2451       Use slrnface to show ''X-Face:''s (use_slrnface)
2452           If enabled  tin  uses  slrnface(1)  to  interpret  the  ''X-Face:''
2453           header.  For this option to have any effect, tin must be running in
2454           an xterm(1x) and slrnface(1) must be in your $PATH. Default is OFF.
2455
2456       Use UTF-8 graphics (utf8_graphics)
2457           If ON use UTF-8 characters for indicator ('->'),  thread/attachment
2458           tree and ellipsis ('...'). Default is OFF.
2459
2460       Regex for begin of a verbatim block (verbatim_begin_regex)
2461           A  regular expression that tin will use to find the begin of a ver‐
2462           batim block.
2463
2464       Regex for end of a verbatim block (verbatim_end_regex)
2465           A regular expression that tin will use to find the end of a  verba‐
2466           tim block.
2467
2468       Detection of verbatim blocks (verbatim_handling)
2469           If ON verbatim blocks will be detected. Default is ON.
2470
2471       Wildcard matching (wildcard)
2472           Allows  you to select how tin matches strings. The default is 0 and
2473           uses the wildmat(3) notation, which is how this  has  traditionally
2474           been handled.  Setting this to 1 allows you to use perl(1) compati‐
2475           ble  regular  expressions   pcre(3)   (see   also   perlre(1)   and
2476           pcrepattern(3)).  You will probably want to update your filter file
2477           if you use this regularly.  NB:  Newsgroup  names  will  always  be
2478           matched using the wildmat(3) notation.
2479
2480       What to display instead of mark (word_h_display_marks)
2481           Should  the  leading  and ending stars, slashes, strokes and dashes
2482           also be displayed, even when they are highlighting marks?
2483
2484            0  no
2485
2486            1  yes, display mark
2487
2488            2  print a space instead
2489
2490       Word highlighting in message body (word_highlight)
2491           Enable word highlighting. See word_h_display_marks for the  options
2492           available.   If  use_color  is  enabled  the  colors  specified  in
2493           col_markdash, col_markslash, col_markstar  and  col_markstroke  are
2494           used  for word highlighting else the character attributes specified
2495           in mono_markdash, mono_markslash, mono_markstar and mono_markstroke
2496           are used. Default is ON.
2497
2498       Page line wrap column (wrap_column)
2499           Sets  the  column  at  which  a  displayed  article  body should be
2500           wrapped.  If this value is equal to 0, it defaults to  the  current
2501           screen  width.   If  this value is greater than your current screen
2502           width the part off-screen is not displayed. Thus setting  this  op‐
2503           tion  to  a  large  value  can be used to disable wrapping. If this
2504           value is negative the wrap margin is the current screen width  plus
2505           the given value (as long as the result is still positive, otherwise
2506           it will fall back to the current screen width). Default is 0, wrap‐
2507           ping at the current screen width.
2508
2509       Quote line when crossposting (xpost_quote_format)
2510           Format  is the same as for news_quote_format, this is used when an‐
2511           swering  to  a  crossposting  to  several  groups  with  no  ''Fol‐
2512           lowup-To:'' set.
2513
2514   ATTRIBUTES MENU AND GROUP ATTRIBUTES
2515       tin allows certain attributes to be set on a per group basis. If it ex‐
2516       ists, the global attributes file,  ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}/attributes
2517       is  read.  After  that,  the  user's  own  attributes  file ${TIN_HOME‐
2518       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/attributes is read.  The global attributes  file  is
2519       useful  for  distributing system-wide defaults to new users who have no
2520       private attributes file yet.
2521
2522       Note that the scope=<grouplist> line has to be specified before the at‐
2523       tributes  are specified for that list. All attributes are set to a rea‐
2524       sonable default so you only have to specify the attribute that you want
2525       to  change (e.g., savedir). All toggle attributes are set by specifying
2526       ON/OFF. Otherwise, these function exactly  the  same  as  their  global
2527       equivalents. For more details see tin(5).
2528
2529       Attributes  can  also  be changed from the attributes menu which can be
2530       accessed by ConfigToggleAttrib  ('<TAB>')  from  the  options  menu  or
2531       ScopeSelect ('^J' or '<CR>') from the scopes menu.  The attributes menu
2532       looks and behaves very similar to the options menu. The title shows the
2533       current  scope. Attributes set in the current scope are marked with '+'
2534       to the left of the attributes number.
2535
2536       Besides the keys for moving around and changing values known  from  the
2537       options menu the attributes menu provides the following command: Confi‐
2538       gResetAttrib ('r') which resets an attribute to a default value.
2539
2540   SCOPES MENU
2541       The scopes menu (accessible from the options menu with  ConfigScopeMenu
2542       ('S')) shows all scopes read from the global and local attributes file.
2543       Scopes from the global attributes file are marked with '!' to the  left
2544       of  the  scope  number.  Delete/rename/move are not possible with those
2545       scopes.
2546
2547       In addition to the common moving keys the following commands are avail‐
2548       able:  ScopeSelect  ('^J'  or '<CR>') enter the attributes menu for the
2549       current scope, ScopeEditAttributesFile ('E') edit the local  attributes
2550       file, ScopeAdd ('a') add a new scope, ScopeDelete ('d') delete the cur‐
2551       rent scope, ScopeMove ('m') move the current scope to a  new  position,
2552       ScopeRename  ('r')  rename  the  current scope. ToggleHelpDisplay ('H')
2553       toggles the help mini menu at the bottom of the screen and posting eti‐
2554       quette after composing an article (beginner_level).
2555
2556   FILTERING ARTICLES
2557       When  there  is a subject or an author which you are either very inter‐
2558       ested in, or find completely uninteresting, you can easily instruct tin
2559       to auto-select or auto-kill articles that match rules that you specify.
2560       This can be anything from the name of the author to the number of lines
2561       in an article.
2562
2563       When    tin    starts    up    the    user's    kill-file   ${TIN_HOME‐
2564       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/filter (see also tin(5)) is read. Each time a  news‐
2565       group  is entered the rules are applied and articles killed or selected
2566       when they meet certain criteria.
2567
2568       The degree to which rules are applied depend on  the  kill_level  tinrc
2569       setting.  By  default  killed articles will only be marked read. Adjust
2570       kill_level for more aggressive processing. Articles that match an auto-
2571       selection rule are marked with a ''*''.
2572
2573       Filtering    rules   can   be   manually   entered   into   ${TIN_HOME‐
2574       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/filter (but don't do this whilst  running  tin  else
2575       you will lose your changes) or by using an on-screen menu within tin.
2576
2577       The filtering capabilities of tin have been significantly enhanced over
2578       previous versions to include scoring and better pattern matching. It is
2579       recommended  that  you read the file filtering in the tin documentation
2580       directory. This file can also be read online at
2581       <http://www.tin.org/filtering.txt>.
2582
2583       The on-screen filtering menu is  accessed  by  pressing  MenuFilterKill
2584       ('^K')  or  MenuFilterSelect ('^A') at the Group and Article levels. It
2585       allows the user to kill or select an article that matches  the  current
2586       ''Subject:''  line, ''From:'' line or a string entered by the user. The
2587       user entered string can be applied to  the  ''Subject:''  or  ''From:''
2588       line  of an article. The filter can be limited to the current newsgroup
2589       or it can apply to all newsgroups. Once entered the user can abort  the
2590       command  and not save the new filter, edit the full filter file or save
2591       filter.
2592
2593   POSTING ARTICLES
2594       tin allows posting of articles, follow-up to  already  posted  articles
2595       and replying direct through mail to the author of an article.
2596
2597       Use  the  Post  ('w') command to post an article to a newsgroup.  After
2598       entering the post subject the default editor (i.e., vi(1)) or the  edi‐
2599       tor  specified  by  the $VISUAL or $EDITOR environment variable will be
2600       started and the article can be entered. To  crosspost  articles  simply
2601       add  a comma and the name of the newsgroup(s) to the end of the ''News‐
2602       groups:'' line at the beginning of the article. After saving and  exit‐
2603       ing the editor you are asked if you wish to a)bort posting the article,
2604       e)dit the article again or p)ost the article  to  the  specified  news‐
2605       group(s).
2606
2607       Use the DisplayPostHist ('W') command to display a history of the arti‐
2608       cles you have posted. The date the article was posted, which newsgroups
2609       the  article was posted to and the articles subject line are displayed.
2610       See the section "POSTING HISTORY LISTING" for more information.
2611
2612       Use  the  PageFollowupQuote  ('f'),  PageFollowup  ('F')  or   PageFol‐
2613       lowupQuoteHeaders  ('^W') command to post a follow-up article to an al‐
2614       ready posted article. The PageFollowupQuote command will copy the  text
2615       of  the  original article into the editor. The PageFollowupQuoteHeaders
2616       command will copy the text and all headers of the original article into
2617       the  editor. The editing procedure is the same as when posting an arti‐
2618       cle with the Post ('w') command.
2619
2620       Use the PageReplyQuote ('r'), PageReply ('R') or  PageReplyQuoteHeaders
2621       ('^E') command to reply direct through mail to the author of an already
2622       posted article. The PageReplyQuote command will copy the  text  of  the
2623       original  article  into  the  editor. The PageReplyQuoteHeaders command
2624       will copy the text and all headers of the original article into the ed‐
2625       itor. The editing procedure is the same as when posting an article with
2626       the Post ('w') command. After saving and exiting  the  editor  you  are
2627       asked  if  you  wish  to abort sending the article via PostAbort ('a'),
2628       edit the article again via PostEdit ('e') or send the  article  to  the
2629       author via PostSend ('s').
2630
2631   CUSTOMIZING THE ARTICLE QUOTE STRING
2632       When  posting a followup to an article or replying direct to the author
2633       of an article via email the text of the article can be quoted. The  be‐
2634       ginning of the quoted text can contain information about the quoted ar‐
2635       ticle (e.g., Name and the Message-ID of the article). To allow for dif‐
2636       ferent  situations  certain information from the article can be used in
2637       the quoted string. The following variables are expanded if found in the
2638       tinrc     variables     mail_quote_format,     news_quote_format     or
2639       xpost_quote_format:
2640              %A  Address (Email)
2641              %D  Date (uses date_format)
2642              %F  Full address (%N <%A>)
2643              %G  Groupname
2644              %M  Message-ID
2645              %N  Fullname of author
2646              %C  Firstname of author
2647              %I  Initials of author
2648       e.g.,
2649              mail_quote_format=On %D in %G you wrote:

2660   MAILING PIPING PRINTING REPOSTING AND SAVING ARTICLES
2661       The command interface to GroupMail, PageMail,  PostMail  or  ThreadMail
2662       ('m'),  Pipe  ('|'),  Print  ('o'), PageRepost or GroupRepost ('x') and

2665
2666       Auto-saving with *AutoSave ('S') is a special case and operates only on
2667       marked articles. They will processed without any further prompting  ac‐

2670
2671       Otherwise, the initial prompt will ask you  to  select  which  article,
2672       thread,  hot  (auto-selected), regular expression pattern, tagged arti‐
2673       cles you wish to mail, pipe etc.
2674
2675       Tagged articles must have already been tagged with a  *Tag  ('t')  com‐
2676       mand.  All tagged articles can be untagged by a *Untag ('U') untag com‐
2677       mand.
2678
2679       If a regular expression pattern is selected you are asked  to  enter  a
2680       pattern  (e.g.,  to  match  all  articles subject lines containing 'net
2681       News' you enter "net News"). Any articles that match  the  entered  ex‐
2682       pression  will  be mailed, piped etc. See also the wildcard tinrc vari‐
2683       able for advanced pattern matching options.
2684
2685       Various expansion characters are recognized when entering the directory
2686       and file to save to. Environment variables (prefixed with '$') and user
2687       home directories (prefixed by '~' or  '~username')  can  be  specified.
2688       Environment variables can themselves contain other special characters.
2689
2690       To  save  articles  to a mailbox enter '=<mailbox name>' when asked for
2691       the save filename. If you enter just '=' then articles will be saved to
2692       a  mailbox  with  the  name of the current newsgroup (eg, alt.sources).
2693       See maildir.
2694
2695       To save in savedir/<news.group.name>/<filename> format  enter  '+<file‐
2696       name>'.    See  savedir.  Like  '+'  %G  is  expanded  to  the  current
2697       news.group.name but without savedir prefixed. %P  is  expanded  to  the
2698       news.group.name with all '.' replaced by '/'.
2699
2700       If  saving  multiple  files at once the filename (if not referring to a
2701       mailbox) will be extended by ".num" where "num" is  at  least  3  digit
2702       number  counting  up from 1. Environment variables are allowed within a
2703       filename (e.g., $SOURCES/dir/filename).
2704
2705       When saving articles you can specify whether the saved files should  be
2706       post   processed.   A   default   process   type   can   be   set   via
2707       post_process_type.
2708
2709   AUTOMATIC MAILING AND SAVING NEW NEWS
2710       tin allows new/unread news articles to be mailed (''-M'' and ''-N'' op‐
2711       tion)  or saved (''-S'' option) in batch mode for later reading. Useful
2712       when going on holiday and you don't want to return and find that expire
2713       has  removed  a  whole load of unread articles. Best to run via cron(8)
2714       everyday while away, after which you will be mailed a report  of  which
2715       articles  were  mailed/saved from which newsgroups and the total number
2716       of articles mailed/saved. Articles are saved in a private  news  struc‐
2717       ture   under   your   savedir   directory   (default   is   ${TIN_HOME‐
2718       DIR:-"$HOME"}/News).  Be careful of using this option if you read a lot
2719       of groups because you could overflow your file system.
2720
2721       When  using  ''-S''  together with a given directory to save to (''-s''
2722       option), the same directory must be specified when reading the articles
2723       by ''-R''.
2724
2725       If  you  only want to save some of your groups use the batch_save tinrc
2726       variable. Set to ON or OFF in tinrc to  enable/disable  saving  of  all
2727       groups  and then use the batch_save attribute to fine tune which groups
2728       you want to have saved. For example, if you want to save most  of  your
2729       groups, then set batch_save to ON in tinrc and selectively turn off the
2730       ones you don't want using attributes.
2731
2732       tin -M iain -c -f newsrc.mail
2733                           (mail any unread articles in  newsgroups  specified
2734                           in file newsrc.mail to the local user iain and mark
2735                           them as read)
2736
2737       tin -S -c -f newsrc.save
2738                           (save any unread articles in  newsgroups  specified
2739                           in file newsrc.save and mark them as read)
2740
2741       tin -R              (read any articles saved by tin -S)
2742
2743   RANGES
2744       A range is simply a group of items marked using the SetRange ('#') key.
2745       Certain tin commands will operate on a range if one exists rather  than
2746       just   the  current  item.  A  range  is  an  expression  of  the  form
2747       <min>–<max>, e.g. 10–15 will highlight items 10 through 15 on the  cur‐
2748       rent  screen. Other than absolute numeric positions, '.' can be used in
2749       place of the current cursor position and '$' can be used  to  mean  the
2750       highest  number  available. Currently the only commands that understand
2751       ranges are GroupMarkThdRead ('K'), MarkArtUnread ('z')  and  MarkThdUn‐
2752       read ('Z').
2753
2754   NEWSGROUP LISTS & WILDCARDS
2755       Several  places in tin allow you to specify a list of newsgroups. These
2756       include command-line groups,  (un)subscribe  groups,  the  AUTO[UN]SUB‐
2757       SCRIBE  mechanism.  The  scope= attributes file tag and the filter file
2758       group= tag also use the same syntax. tin interprets this variable simi‐
2759       larly  to  rn(1).   It contains a list of patterns, separated by commas
2760       and possibly prefixed with exclamation  points.  An  exclamation  point
2761       negates the meaning of a match on this pattern, and can be used to can‐
2762       cel certain matches. See wildmat(3) for details  about  the  understood
2763       patterns. Some examples:
2764
2765       alt.config,news.*,!news.test
2766
2767       Matches  alt.config  and  everything  in  the  'news'  hierarchy except
2768       news.test
2769
2770       See the explanation for the $AUTOSUBSCRIBE and  $AUTOUNSUBSCRIBE  vari‐
2771       ables for further examples.
2772
2773   SIGNATURES
2774       tin  will recognize a signature in either ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.sig‐
2775       nature     or     ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.Sig.      If     ${TIN_HOME‐
2776       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.signature exists, then the signature will be pulled into
2777       the  editor  for  mail  commands  only.  A  signature  in   ${TIN_HOME‐
2778       DIR:-"$HOME"}/.signature will not be pulled into the editor for posting
2779       commands since inews(1) will append the signature itself.
2780
2781       A signature in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.Sig will be pulled into the ed‐
2782       itor for both posting and mailing commands.
2783
2784       The following is an example of a .Sig file:
2785              NAMES  Joe Bar <joe@example.org>
2786              SNAIL  Musterweg 12, 99999 Notreal, Germany
2787
2788       tin  also  has  the  capability  to generate random signatures on a per
2789       newsgroup basis if so desired. The way to accomplish this is to specify
2790       the default signature or the group attribute sigfile as a directory. If
2791       for example the sigfile path is /usr/iain/.sigs and .sigs is  a  direc‐
2792       tory  then  tin will select a random signature from any file that is in
2793       the directory .sigs (note: one signature per numbered file).  A  random
2794       signature  can  also consist of a fixed part signature that can contain
2795       your name, address etc. followed by the random sig. The fixed  part  of
2796       the random sig is read from the file $HOME/.sigfixed.
2797
2798   CUSTOMIZING THE SCREEN FORMAT
2799       The look of the Selection, Group and Thread level can be customized via
2800       format strings. These format strings define the content and  the  posi‐
2801       tion  of each element on the screen. Variables are used within the for‐
2802       mat strings as placeholders. The following variables are available:
2803
2804          %D    date
2805          %F    from, name and/or address
2806          %G    newsgroup name
2807          %I    initials
2808          %L    line count
2809          %M    message-id
2810          %R    number of responses in thread
2811          %S    score
2812          %T    thread tree
2813          %U    unread count
2814          %d    newsgroup description
2815          %f    newsgroup flag
2816          %m    article marks
2817          %n    current group/thread/article number
2818          %s    subject
2819          %%    %
2820
2821       Not all variables can be used in each level. The following  table  pro‐
2822       vides an overview:
2823
2824              select_format group_format thread_format
2825          %D                      X            X
2826          %F                      X            X
2827          %G        X
2828          %I                      X            X
2829          %L                      X            X
2830          %M                      X            X
2831          %R                      X
2832          %S                      X            X
2833          %T                                   X
2834          %U        X
2835          %d        X
2836          %f        X
2837          %m                      X            X
2838          %n        X             X            X
2839          %s                      X
2840          %%        X             X            X
2841
2842       Defaults for the format strings:
2843
2844          select_format: "%f %n %U  %G  %d"
2845          group_format:  "%n %m %R %L  %s  %F"
2846          thread_format: "%n %m  [%L]  %T  %F"
2847
2848       show_description controls whether the newsgroup description is shown or
2849       not. The description can also be toggled with  SelectToggleDescriptions
2850       ('d').
2851
2852       The  information  displayed  with '%F' depends on the value of show_au‐
2853       thor.  GroupToggleSubjDisplay  resp.    ThreadToggleSubjDisplay   ('d')
2854       switches through all available options.
2855
2856       For  date representation '%D' uses date_format. It is possible to spec‐
2857       ify a different date  format  in  round  brackets  (e.g.  '%(%d  %b  %y
2858       %H:%M)D'). See date_format for more details.
2859
2860       The  length  of  each item (except '%%') can be defined with a positive
2861       number after the '%'. The following example displays the score  in  the
2862       thread level 10 characters wide: '%10S'.
2863
2864       If the newsgroup name is displayed together with the newsgroup descrip‐
2865       tion, the width of the newsgroup name can be controlled via an optional
2866       comma  separated second value (e.g. '%60,20G'). It is valid to omit the
2867       first value (e.g. ('%,20G')). If no second value is given, tin  uses  a
2868       default value of 32.
2869
2870       Some  variables  do  have a default width which may lead to truncation.
2871       Truncation for variables which contain only numbers happens by dividing
2872       the  value with a sufficient power of ten and adding a SI suffix to the
2873       result, that is the variable holds a value of 54321 and the  width  for
2874       the  variable  is  4 the result will be "54 k". If that's undesired you
2875       have to specify a larger width manually, e.g. '%6n'. Here is  an  over‐
2876       view of the defaults:
2877
2878          Variable  width
2879          %I         3
2880          %L         4
2881          %M        10
2882          %R         3
2883          %S         6
2884          %U         5
2885          %n         4
2886
2887       If  no length is given for '%D', the length is determined by the format
2888       string for the date and the date of the current day. If the date format
2889       string contains weekdays or months names it may happen that the date is
2890       longer than determined in the first pass. In this  case,  the  date  is
2891       truncated  before  display.  This  occurs,  for example, if the current
2892       month is May and the article to which the date is displayed was  posted
2893       in  December.  In  such  cases it might useful to determine the maximum
2894       length manually and specify the length in the format string.
2895
2896       In case the format string contains '%G' and  '%d'  and  no  length  are
2897       given,  tin  determines the longest newsgroup name and uses this length
2898       for '%G'. The remaining space will used for '%d'.
2899
2900       When the format string contains the specifier '%F' and '%s' resp.  '%T'
2901       and  no  length  are given, '%F' will use one third and '%s' resp. '%T'
2902       will use two third of the available space.
2903
2904       In addition, a minimum screen width can be defined for each  item  (ex‐
2905       cept  '%%').  In  this  case,  the item will only be displayed when the
2906       screen is wider than specified. This comes in handy to not  overload  a
2907       small  screen but have maximum information on a large screen. The mini‐
2908       mum screen width has to be specified by a positive number  preceded  by
2909       an '>'. In the following example tin will display the score only if the
2910       screen is wider than 100 characters: '%>100S'.
2911
2912       If both the length and the minimum screen width should be specified for
2913       an  item, the length must be the first parameter and the minimum screen
2914       width must be the second one. The following example displays the  score
2915       with  a  length  of  10 characters only if the screen is wider than 100
2916       characters: '%10>100S'.
2917
2918   TIPS AND TRICKS
2919       tin can be pretty much be navigated by using the four cursor keys.  The
2920       left  arrow key goes up a level, the right arrow key goes down a level,
2921       the up arrow key goes up a line and the down  arrow  key  goes  down  a
2922       line.
2923
2924       The  following  newsgroups  provide  useful information concerning news
2925       software:
2926           —news.software.readers (info. about news user agents tin,  rn,  nn,
2927            slrn etc.)
2928           —news.software.nntp (info. about NNTP)
2929           —news.answers  (Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about many differ‐
2930            ent themes)
2931
2932       Many prompts within tin offer a default choice that the cursor is posi‐
2933       tioned on. By pressing '<CR>' the default value is taken.  Most prompts
2934       can be aborted by pressing '<ESC>'.
2935
2936       When tin is run in an xterm(1x) it will resize  itself  each  time  the
2937       xterm(1x) is resized.
2938
2939       tin  will  reread the ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-ac‐
2940       tive} file at set intervals (reread_active_file_secs) to show any newly
2941       arrived news.
2942
2943       If  you  find large number of new newsgroups cluttering up your screen,
2944       pressing SelectToggleReadDisplay ('r') will make them go away.
2945
2946   XTERM BUTTONS
2947       If the environment variable $TERM is  set  to  xterm(1x),  then  button
2948       pressing can be used to select groups and articles. In this discussion,
2949       the buttons are assumed to be assigned conventionally (i.e., Button1 is
2950       the left button).
2951
2952       In general (i.e., for the group, thread and article menus),
2953
2954       Button1 (left)
2955                 enters  next (lower) level if you click on an article, other‐
2956                 wise pages down.
2957
2958       Button2 (center)
2959                 returns to the previous (upper) level if you click on an  ar‐
2960                 ticle, otherwise pages up.
2961
2962       Button3 (right)
2963                 positions  on  the  article line under mouse cursor, or pages
2964                 down if you've clicked outside the list of articles.
2965
2966       In the group selection menu, if the mouse is pointing at a group then:
2967
2968       left button
2969                 moves to and selects the group pointed at, just  like  Selec‐
2970                 tReadGrp ('<CR>').
2971
2972       center button
2973                 quits the program, just like Quit ('q').
2974
2975       right button
2976                 moves to the group pointed at.
2977
2978       In the article menu, if the mouse is pointing at an article (or thread)
2979       then:
2980
2981       left button
2982                 reads the article pointed  at,  just  like  GroupReadBasenote
2983                 ('<CR>'), or the thread, just like GroupListThd ('l').
2984
2985       center button
2986                 exits  the  menu,  catching  up  on  the  group  if  you have
2987                 group_catchup_on_exit set in your  configuration,  just  like
2988                 Quit ('q').
2989
2990       right button
2991                 moves to the article (or thread) pointed at.
2992
2993       In the thread menu, if the mouse is pointing at an article then:
2994
2995       left button
2996                 reads article pointed at, just like ThreadReadArt ('<CR>').
2997
2998       center button
2999                 exits  the  menu,  catching  up  on  the  thread  if you have
3000                 thread_catchup_on_exit set in your configuration,  just  like
3001                 Quit ('q').
3002
3003       right button
3004                 moves to the article pointed at.
3005
3006       In  other menus and areas button pressing reverts back to usual cut and
3007       paste of xterm(1x), but after one click of any button.
3008
3009   INDEX FILES
3010       If your news server supports NOV index files (see newsoverview(5), most
3011       modern  installations will) and you have a fast connection to your news
3012       server then this section can be ignored.
3013
3014       If your news server doesn't support NOV index files or you have a  very
3015       slow  connection  to  your news server then tin can cache the index for
3016       each newsgroup if cache_overview_files is set to ON.   Note  that  this
3017       cache  can  use  up  large  amounts  of disk space if you read a lot of
3018       groups and/or high traffic groups.
3019
3020       Each user creates/updates his/her own index files that  are  stored  in
3021       ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR:-"${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/.news/. If you are
3022       reading via NNTP then the news server name will be appended to keep the
3023       indexes  for different servers separate. If you are reading off the lo‐
3024       cal spool and local  overview  files  already  exist  then  turning  on
3025       caching will have no effect. Likewise unless you see significant delays
3026       entering a group when reading via NNTP then  turning  on  caching  will
3027       have little or no effect.
3028
3029       Entering a group the first time tends to be slow because the index file
3030       must be built from scratch. To alleviate the slowness start tin to cre‐
3031       ate  all index files for the groups you subscribe to with tin -u -v and
3032       go for a coffee. Subsequent readings of a group will only  need  to  do
3033       incremental  updating of the index file and will be much faster as only
3034       new articles will need to be cached.
3035
3036       As indexing might take some time you may want to run tin from the  sys‐
3037       tem batcher cron(8) with the ''-u'' option:
3038
3039              30 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/tin -u
3040
3041       If  you  are  low  on  local disk space you should consider to manually
3042       purge cached data for groups you are not reading anymore with something
3043       like:
3044
3045              find ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR:-"${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/.news* \
3046              -type f -name "[0-9]*.[0-9]" -atime +28 | xargs rm -f

ENVIRONMENT

3131       TINRC  Define this variable if you want to specify command-line options
3132              that tin should be started with to save typing them each time it
3133              is  started.  The contents of the environment variable are added
3134              to the front of the command-line options  before  it  is  parsed
3135              therefore  allowing  an  option specified on the command-line to
3136              override the same option specified in the environment.
3137
3138       TIN_HOMEDIR
3139              Define this variable if you do not want the  .tin  directory  in
3140              $HOME/.  E.g.,  if you want all tin's private files in /tmp/.tin
3141              you would set $TIN_HOMEDIR to /tmp.
3142
3143       TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR
3144              Define this variable if you do not want the .news  directory  in
3145              ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/.  E.g., if you want all tin's news
3146              index files in /tmp/.news you would  set  $TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR  to
3147              /tmp.
3148
3149       TIN_INDEX_MAILDIR
3150              Define  this  variable if you do not want the .mail directory in
3151              ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/. E.g., if you want all tin's  mail
3152              index  files  in  /tmp/.mail you would set $TIN_INDEX_MAILDIR to
3153              /tmp.
3154
3155       TIN_INDEX_SAVEDIR
3156              Define this variable if you do not want the .save  directory  in
3157              ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/.  E.g., if you want all tin's save
3158              index files in /tmp/.save you would  set  $TIN_INDEX_SAVEDIR  to
3159              /tmp.
3160
3161       TIN_LIBDIR
3162              Define this variable if you want to override the NEWSLIBDIR path
3163              that was compiled into the tin binary, default is /usr/lib/news.
3164              If  tin is running in NNTP mode setting this variable has no ef‐
3165              fect.
3166
3167       TIN_SPOOLDIR
3168              Define this variable if you want to override the  SPOOLDIR  path
3169              that   was   compiled   into   the   tin   binary,   default  is
3170              /var/spool/news.  If tin is running in NNTP  mode  setting  this
3171              variable has no effect.
3172
3173       TIN_NOVROOTDIR
3174              Define this variable if you want to override the NOVROOTDIR path
3175              that was compiled into the tin binary, default is SPOOLDIR  (see
3176              above). If tin is running in NNTP mode setting this variable has
3177              no effect.
3178
3179       TIN_NOVFILENAME
3180              Define this variable if you want to override  the  OVERVIEW_FILE
3181              filename  that  was  compiled  into  the  tin binary, default is
3182              .overview. If tin is running in NNTP mode setting this  variable
3183              has no effect.
3184
3185       TIN_ACTIVEFILE
3186              Define  this variable if you want to override the NEWSLIBDIR/ac‐
3187              tive path that was compiled into the tin binary. If tin is  run‐
3188              ning  in  NNTP  mode  setting  this  variable  has no effect. If
3189              $TIN_LIBDIR is set it is prepended to $TIN_ACTIVEFILE.
3190
3191       NNTPSERVER
3192              The default NNTP server to remotely read news from.  This  vari‐
3193              able  only  needs to be set if the ''-r'' command-line option is
3194              specified and the  file  /etc/nntpserver  does  not  exist.  The
3195              ''-g'' command line option overrides $NNTPSERVER.
3196
3197       NNTPPORT
3198              The NNTP TCP-port to read news from. This variable only needs to
3199              be set if the TCP-port is not 119  (the  default).   The  ''-p''
3200              command-line option overrides $NNTPPORT.
3201
3202       DISTRIBUTION
3203              Set  the  article header field ''Distribution:'' to the contents
3204              of the variable instead of the system default.
3205
3206       ISO2ASC
3207              Set the ISO to ASCII charset decoding table character to use  in
3208              decoding an article text. Values can range from -1 to 6.
3209
3210            -1     no conversion
3211
3212            0      universal table for many languages
3213
3214            1      single-spacing universal table
3215
3216            2      table for Danish, Dutch, German, Norwegian and Swedish
3217
3218            3      table  for Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish using the
3219                   appropriate ISO 646 variant
3220
3221            4      table with RFC1345 codes in brackets
3222
3223            5      table for printers that allow overstriking with backspace
3224
3225            6      table for IBM PC character set (code page 437)
3226
3227       ORGANIZATION
3228              Set the article header field ''Organization:'' to  the  contents
3229              of  the  variable instead of the system default. If reading news
3230              on an Apollo DomainOS machine the environment variable  $NEWSORG
3231              has to be used instead of $ORGANIZATION.
3232
3233       NEWSORG (DomainOS)
3234              DomainOS  specific,  same  as  $ORGANIZATION  on  other OSs (see
3235              above).
3236
3237       REPLYTO
3238              Set the article header field ''Reply-To:'' to the return address
3239              specified by the variable. This is useful if you wish to receive
3240              replies at a different address.
3241
3242       NAME   Overrides the full name given in the gecos-field in /etc/passwd,
3243              see also mail_address.
3244
3245       REALNAME
3246              Same as $NAME.
3247
3248       HOME   Pathname  of  the user's home directory. See environ(5) for more
3249              info.
3250
3251       MAILER This variable has precedence over the  default  mailer  that  is
3252              used in all mailing operations within tin.
3253
3254       MAIL   Full path to the user's mailbox.
3255
3256       VISUAL This  variable  has  precedence  over  the default editor (i.e.,
3257              vi(1)) that is used in all editing operations within tin  (e.g.,
3258              posting,  replying, follow-ups, ...). Evaluation order is ${VIS‐
3259              UAL:-"${EDITOR:-vi}"}. See environ(5) for more info.
3260
3261       EDITOR If $VISUAL is unset, then this variable is looked up for  a  de‐
3262              fault  editor.  If  $EDITOR and $VISUAL are both unset, tin uses
3263              the systems default editor (i.e.  vi(1)  on  UNIX-systems).  See
3264              environ(5) for more info.
3265
3266       AUTOSUBSCRIBE
3267              A  new  group  is  checked  against  the list of patterns; if it
3268              matches, tin subscribes the user to the  group  without  further
3269              query.  See the section "NEWSGROUP LISTS & WILDCARDS" for an ex‐
3270              planation of the valid syntax. For example, setting
3271
3272              AUTOSUBSCRIBE=comp.os.unix.*,talk.*,!talk.politics.*
3273
3274              will automatically subscribe the user to all new groups  in  the
3275              comp.os.unix hierarchy, and all talk groups other than talk.pol‐
3276              itics groups (which will be queried for  as  usual).  Of  course
3277              this  does  not  work if tin is started with the ''-X'' command-
3278              line switch.
3279
3280       AUTOUNSUBSCRIBE
3281              Is handled like the $AUTOSUBSCRIBE variable, but groups matching
3282              the  list are unsubscribed from without further query. For exam‐
3283              ple, setting
3284
3285              AUTOUNSUBSCRIBE=alt.flame.*,u*,!uk.*
3286
3287              will automatically unsubscribe the user from all  new  alt.flame
3288              groups  and all groups starting with u (university groups) other
3289              than UK groups (which will be queried for as usual).
3290
3291       TMPDIR A pathname of a directory made available for tin to create  tem‐
3292              porary files.
3293
3294       MAILCAPS
3295              This  variable  can  be used to override the default path search
3296              for mailcap(5) files. See also tin(5).
3297
3298       NOMETAMAIL
3299              Set this variable to disable the use of  metamail(1)  or  a  re‐
3300              placement (e.g. metamutt).
3301
3302       MM_CHARSET
3303              MIME character set used if not configured via the tinrc variable
3304              mm_charset.
3305
3306       ISPELL Set this variable to point to ispell(1) or a replacement and its
3307              cmd-line options.
3308
3309       PGPOPTS
3310              Define  any  additional  options  that  you wish to pass to your
3311              pgp(1) or gpg(1) program.
3312
3313       PGPPATH
3314              Override the name of the pgp(1) directory in  $HOME  that  holds
3315              your keys etc..
3316
3317       GNUPGHOME
3318              Override  the  name  of the gpg(1) directory in $HOME that holds
3319              your keys etc..
3320
3321       LC_CTYPE
3322              This variable determines the locale(5)  category  for  character
3323              handling  functions. Usually it determines the character classes
3324              for pattern matching character classification and  case  conver‐
3325              sion. Currently this is not true for tin (which temporary unsets
3326              $LC_CTYPE right before any match is done  to  avoid  confusion).
3327              It's  value  should  be  of the form language[_territory][.code‐
3328              set][@modifier]. See environ(5) for more information.
3329
3330       LC_MESSAGES
3331              Formats of informative and diagnostic messages  and  interactive
3332              responses.   It's  value  should be of the form language[_terri‐
3333              tory][.codeset][@modifier]. See  locale(5)  and  environ(5)  for
3334              more information.
3335
3336       LC_TIME
3337              Date  and  time  formats.  It's value should be of the form lan‐

3339              environ(5) for more information.
3340
3341       LC_ALL This  variable overrides the value of the $LANG variable and any
3342              other $LC_ variable. It's value  should  be  of  the  form  lan‐
3343              guage[_territory][.codeset].  See  locale(5)  and environ(5) for
3344              more information.
3345
3346       LANG   This variable determines the locale(5) category for any category
3347              not  specifically  selected  with a variable starting with $LC_.
3348              It's value should be of the form language[_territory][.codeset].
3349              See environ(5) for more information.
3350
3351       LANGUAGE
3352              This variable defines a priority list for translations. Whenever
3353              a translation is not available  in  the  language  selected  via
3354              $LC_ALL  or $LANG the next language from the list is tried. It's
3355              value should be of the  form  language:language[:language].  See
3356              environ(5) for more information.
3357
3358       COLUMNS
3359              A  decimal  integer  >  0  used to indicate the user's preferred
3360              width in column positions for the terminal screen or window.  If
3361              this  variable  is  unset or null, the implementation determines
3362              the number of columns, appropriate for the terminal  or  window.
3363              When  $COLUMNS is set, any terminal-width information implied by
3364              $TERM will be overridden. Users and portable applications should
3365              not  set $COLUMNS unless they wish to override the system selec‐
3366              tion and produce output unrelated to the  terminal  characteris‐
3367              tics.
3368
3369       LINES  A decimal integer > 0 used to indicate the user's preferred num‐
3370              ber of lines on a page or the vertical screen or window size  in
3371              lines. A line in this case is a vertical measure large enough to
3372              hold the tallest character in the character set being displayed.
3373              If this variable is unset or null, the implementation determines
3374              the number of lines, appropriate for  the  terminal  or  window.
3375              When  $LINES  is set, any terminal-height information implied by
3376              $TERM will be overridden. Users and portable applications should
3377              not  set  $LINES  unless they wish to override the system selec‐
3378              tion.
3379
3380       TERM   The type of terminal in use. This is used when looking up  term‐
3381              cap sequences.  See environ(5) for more information.
3382
3383       DISPLAY
3384              Display name, pointing to the X server; required for xface.
3385
3386       WINDOWID
3387              Used for determining terminal's X window id; required for xface.
3388              Should be set by the terminal emulator.
3389
3390       SHELL  The pathname  of  the  user's  login  shell.  Used  to  set  de‐
3391              fault_shell_command.
3392
3393       XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
3394              The  pathname  of  the  user's dir to put non-essential run time
3395              files into.
3396

SIGNALS

3398       tin handles a couple of signals:
3399
3400       SIGHUP Terminate gracefully.
3401
3402       SIGTERM
3403              Terminate gracefully.
3404
3405       SIGUSR1
3406              Terminate gracefully but do not restore terminal (tty).
3407
3408       SIGUSR2
3409              Write out ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc-file.
3410

SECURITY

3412       If tin is started in debug mode (''-D n'') it will create  world  read‐
3413       able  files  in  $TMPDIR  which  may contain the users NNTP password in
3414       cleartext. On multiuser-systems $TMPDIR should be set to a  safe  loca‐
3415       tion before starting tin in debug mode (e.g.  TMPDIR=$HOME tin -D 1).
3416

CONFORMING TO

3418       tin   does   conform  to  the  Base  Definitions  volume  of  IEEE  Std
3419       1003.1-2008, Section 12, Utility Conventions (Utility Argument  Syntax,
3420       Utility Syntax Guidelines).

BUGS

3429       CNews  NNTPd, noffle(1) (<= V1.0-pre5) and NewsCache (<= V1.1.91) can't
3430       handle pipelined GROUP commands. If you run into trouble  with  any  of
3431       the  mentioned  servers define DISABLE_PIPELINING in include/autoconf.h
3432       and recompile.
3433       Before mailing a bug-report to <tin-bugs@tin.org> please check  if  you

HISTORY

3441       tin  is  based  on  the  tass(1)  newsreader that was developed by Rich
3442       Skrenta and posted to alt.sources in March 1991; its first version  was
3443       released on August 23rd 1991.  tass(1) itself was heavily influenced by
3444       notesfiles a public domain UNIX version of PLATO  Notes,  developed  at
3445       the University of Illinois by Ray Essick and Rob Kolstad in 1982. For a
3446       version overview see
