ÜBERSICHT
tin [[-h|-H|-V] | [[[-a] [-dlnq|-Q] [-ArzxX]] [[-R|-S] -s News-Verz.] [-cuvZ] [-4|-6] [-N|-M Adresse] [-o|-w]] [-D Debuggrad] [-G Artikellimit] [-f newsrc-Datei] [-g Server] [-m Mail-Verz.] [-p Port] [-I index-Verz.] [Newsgruppe[,...]]]

BESCHREIBUNG
tin ist ein einfach zu bedienender Newsreader für das Usenet. Er kann Artikel von einem lokalen (z. B. aus /var/spool/news) oder entfernten Server (rtin oder tin -r Option) mittels NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) lesen. Er benutzt, sofern vorhanden, lokale NOV newsoverview(5) Indexdateien bzw. den [X]OVER NNTP-Befehl (RFC2980, RFC3977).

tin hat vier unterschiedliche Arbeitsebenen: Auswahlebene, Gruppenebene, Threadebene und Artikelebene. Mit dem Help ('h') Befehl können die jeweils verfügbaren Befehle angezeigt werden.

Am Anfang zeigt tin eine Liste der Gruppen in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc. Ein Pfeil '->' oder ein inverser Balken zeigt auf die erste Newsgruppe. Um zu einer Gruppe zu navigieren können die Cursor-Tasten (hängt vom verwendetem Terminal ab) oder Down ('j') und Up ('k') benutzt werden. Mit Bildrauf/Bildrunter (hängt vom verwendetem Terminal ab) oder PageUp ('^U') (CTRL-U) und PageDown ('^D') (CTRL-D) kann Seitenweise navigiert werden. Die ausgewählte Gruppe wird durch Drücken von '<CR>' betreten.

Durch Drücken der GroupNextUnreadArtOrGrp ('<TAB>') Taste wird die nächste Newsgruppe mit ungelesenen Artikeln betreten.

EXIT-STATUS

    0   Programm erfolgreich beendet.

    1   Bedien-, Syntax-, Konfigurations- oder Netzwerk-Fehler.

    2   NNTP Fehler.

Batch-Modus (”-Z”):

-d  Keine Gruppenbeschreibungen und die Server Meldung des Tages laden (Interaktiver-Modus).

-D Debuggrad
    Debuggrad angeben (1 = NNTP, 2 = Filter, 4 = newsrc, 8 = Threading, 16 = Speicher, 32 = attributes, 64 = Diverses, 128 = vorhandene Debugdatein löschen).

-f Datei
    Benutze die angegebene newsrc-Datei anstelle von ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc.

-g Server
    Zugehörigen Newsserver und newsrc-Datei aus ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/newsrctable benutzen. Nur verfügbar, wenn via NNTP gelesen wird.

-G Artikellimit
    Beschränkt die Anzahl der zu ladenden Artikel pro Gruppe.

-h  Kurzübersicht der verfügbaren Kommandozeilenoptionen.

-H  Kurzeinführung in tin welche auch beim allerersten Start ausgegeben wird.

-I Verzeichnis
    Directory in which to store newsgroup index files. Default is ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR:-"${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/.news. This option has no effect if tin retrieves its index files via NNTP and cache_overview_files is turned off.

-l  Get number of articles per group from the ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active} file. If reading via NNTP this is done with the LIST command (RFC3977 ). This might result in incorrect article counts but is usually faster than the default which is to read the ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active} file (either directly or via LIST) and then check the article count via NNTP GROUP command (RFC3977 ) ”-ln”. If reading via NNTP and LIST COUNTS (RFC6048 ) is available that is used instead as it gives more accurate article counts.

-m Verzeichnis
    Zu benutzendes Mailbox-Verzeichnis. Voreinstellung ist ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/Mail.

-M Benutzer
    Sende ungelesene Artikel an den angegebenen Benutzer um sie später lesen zu können. Für weitere Informationen siehe den Abschnitt "AUTOMATISCHES MAILEN UND SPEICHERN VON UNGELESENEN ARTIKELN".

-n  Only load groups from the ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active} file that are subscribed to in the user's ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc. This allows a noticeable speedup when connecting via a slow line, but tin may not be able detect which groups are moderated. See also ”-l”.

-N  Sende ungelesene Artikel an dich selbst um sie später lesen zu können. Für weitere Informationen siehe den Abschnitt "AUTOMATISCHES MAILEN UND SPEICHERN VON UNGELESENEN ARTIKELN".

-o  Schnell-Modus um alle zurückgestellten Artikel zu posten und danach tin wieder beenden. Nach Möglichkeit mit ”-n” kombinieren.

-p Port
    Zu benutzende Portnummer falls per NNTP gelesen wird (Voreinstellung ist 119). Übersteuert die Umgebungsvariable $NNTPPORT. Nur verfügbar, wenn via NNTP gelesen wird.

-q  Nicht prüfen ob neue Newsgruppen vorhanden sind und die Server Meldung des Tages nicht laden.

-Q  Schnellstart. tin so schnell wie möglich starten, zur Zeit entspricht diese Option ”-nqd”.

-r  Read news remotely from the default NNTP server specified in the environment variable $NNTPSERVER or contained in the file /etc/nntpserver.

-R  Lese mittels ”-S” gespeicherte Artikel.

-s Verzeichnis
    Save/read articles to/in directory. Default is ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/News.

-S  Speichere ungelesene Artikel zum späteren Lesen mittels ”-R”. Für weitere Informationen siehe den Abschnitt "AUTOMATISCHES MAILEN UND SPEICHERN VON UNGELESENEN ARTIKELN".

-u  Create/update index files for every group in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc or file specified by the ”-f” option. This option is disabled if tin retrieves its index files via a NNTP server and cache_overview_files is turned off.

-v  Ausführliche Ausgabe für ”-c”, ”-M”, ”-N”, ”-S”, ”-u” und ”-Z”-Optionen.

-V  Versionsinformationen ausgeben.

-w  Schnell-Modus um nur einen Artikel zu posten. Nach Möglichkeit mit ”-n” kombinieren.

-x  Sie können keine Artikel veröffentlichen, wenn Sie diese Option verwenden.

-X  No overwrite mode. ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc and files in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin will not be overwritten but may be created if they don't exist.

-z  tin nur starten wenn es neue/ungelesene Artikel gibt. Falls das der Fall ist wird der Cursor auf die erste Gruppe mit ungelesenen Artikeln positioniert. Nützlich um tin in login-Dateien aufzurufen.

-Z  Prüft ob es neue/ungelesene Artikel gibt und beendet sich mit dem entsprechenden Rückgabewert. Falls mit der ”-v” Option kombiniert wird die Zahl der ungelesenen Artikel in jeder Gruppe ausgegeben. Ein Rückgabewert von 0 bedeutet keine ungelesene Artikel, 1 das ein Fehler aufgetreten ist und 2 das ungelesene Artikel vorhanden sind. Nützlich in Skripten.

tin can also dynamically change its options by the OptionMenu ('M') command. Any changes are written to ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc. For more information see section "GLOBAL OPTIONS MENU AND TINRC CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES" and tin(5).

Eine Liste von Gruppen kann nach den anderen Befehlszeilenoptionen angegeben werden. Dies kann nützlich sein, wenn Sie eine handverlesenen Untermenge der aktiven Newsgroups einblenden oder abonnieren wollen. möchten. Siehe den Abschnitt "NEWSGROUP LISTEN & WILDCARDS" für die Arten von Muster, die tin versteht.

Wenn Sie einen einzelnen Gruppennamen oder eine Wildcard,die nur auf eine einzelne Gruppe passt angeben, dann wird automatisch in diese Gruppe betreten. Andernfalls wird der normale Auswahlbildschirm angezeigt mit allen passenden zusätzlichen Gruppen.

With the ”-w” flag a given group-name is used as default group to post to. If more than one group or a wildcard is specified only the first group respectively the first group that matches is used.

Once you use SelectYankActive ('y') to yank in all active groups, or SelectToggleReadDisplay ('r') to toggle the read/unread status, then the command-line groups will be gone. You can use SelectSyncWithActive ('Y') to reread the ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active} file and get them back.

NB: With the ”-n” flag, only unsubscribed groups in the ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc file (or the newsrc-file given by the ”-f” command-line switch or via ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/newsrctable) can be matched.

Kommandozeilenoptionen haben eine höhere Priorität als attributes und tinrc Optionen und übersteuern daher die konfigurierten Werte.

GEBRAUCH

  NEWS ADMINISTRATION
Maintaining Netnews on large networks of machines can be a pretty time consuming job as I discovered when I was given the job of maintaining our news system and news users.

A user starting tin for the first time can be automatically subscribed to a list of newsgroups that are deemed appropriate by the news administrator. The subscriptions file should be created in your news lib directory (i.e., ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}/subscriptions) and should have file permissions set to 0644. If you read news via NNTP, then your news server must support the LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS command. It is part of the NNTP List Extensions (RFC6048 ) and all modern servers should understand it.

  ANSICHTEN
tin hat vier unterschiedliche Arbeitsebenen: Auswahlebene, Gruppenebene, Threadebene und Artikelebene.

In der Auswahlebene zeigt der Titel (der Name des News-Server und) die Anzahl der abonnierten Gruppen (mit neuen ungelesenen Artikel). Die Newsgruppen werden in der Mitte des Bildschirms, in der Regel mit der Anzahl der ungelesenen Artikel in der gleichen Zeile davor, abgebildet, aber das kann mittels select_format angepasst werden.

->M    1     2  comp.security.announce  Announcements from the CERT abou
  M    2     1  news.admin.announce     Announcements for news adminstra
       3    22  news.software.misc      News-related software other than
       4  1475  news.software.nntp      The Network News Transfer Protoc
  X    5   124  news.software.readers   Discussion of software used to r

Eventuell steht am Anfang der Zeile noch eines der folgende Zeichen:

u   Diese Gruppe ist nicht abonniert. Um nur abonnierte Gruppen anzuzeigen kann die SelectToggleReadDisplay ('r') oder SelectYankActive ('y') Umschalttaste benutzt werden.

M   Diese Gruppe ist moderiert. Alle Postings müssen erst vom Gruppen-Moderator freigegeben werden bevor sie veröffentlicht werden. tin fragt vor dem Posten in eine moderierte Gruppe nach einer Bestätigung.

N   This is a new newsgroup which has been created since you last used tin. New newsgroups are not subscribed to by default (However, see the $AUTOSUBSCRIBE / $AUTOUNSUBSCRIBE environment variables). Subscribe to it in the normal way if you wish the group to continue to appear in your Selection Menu. Simply ignore new newsgroups and they will be gone the next time you start tin. You will have to yank in all the groups to find them in a later session.

D   This group no longer exists. If you no longer wish to see this group then unsubscribe from it in the normal way. This flag will only appear if you have set strip_bogus to "ask" in the Options Menu.

X   You may no longer make posts to this group. Often a group will be superseded by a more appropriately named one.

=   This group has been renamed and you may no longer post to it. If you do, then you will receive an error from your news server telling you the correct group to post to.

At the Group level the title contains the name of the group, the number of conversation threads, the abbreviated threading method (thread_articles), the limit of articles to get (if set; getart_limit), the total number of (unread) articles (art_marked_read or art_marked_unread), the number of hot articles art_marked_selected, the number of read hot articles (if any; art_marked_read_selected), the number of recent articles (art_marked_recent) and the number of killed articles (art_marked_killed). I.e.:

            alt.sources (5B -50/23+ 0* 3o 0K)

The characters after the numbers are depending to the configuration and if your are in show_only_unread_arts mode or not. Some numbers could be missing if the specific option is not enabled. It might also contain an 'M', 'X' or '=' (see above; doesn't work with the ”-n” command-line switch!) if the group is moderated, set to no posting or postings to it get redirected.

If a thread has unread articles it is marked with art_marked_unread in front of the total number of articles in the thread. If there are recent articles within the thread it might be marked with art_marked_recent in front of the total number of articles in the thread - this is controlled by the recent_time option. If a thread has hot articles in it (see also section "FILTERING ARTICLES") it's marked with art_marked_selected in front of the total number of articles in the thread. The number of lines of the first (unread) article in the thread might also be shown right before the subject - this is controlled by the show_info option. The display can be customized via group_format.

At the Thread level the screen usually (depends on the threading method used) looks like this, but can be customized via thread_format:

In der Artikelebene hat der Kopf der Seite folgendes Format:

  GEMEINSAME BEARBEITUNGSBEFEHLE
An emacs(1) style editing package allows the easy editing of input strings. A history list allows the easy reuse of previously entered strings. In addition to the cursor keys, the following commands are available when editing a string:

^A, ^E
    An den Zeilenanfang bzw. das Zeilenende springen.

^F, ^B
    non-destructive move forward or back one location, respectively.

^D  delete the character currently under the cursor, or send EOF if no characters in the buffer.

^H, <ENTF>
    Zeichen links vom Cursor löschen.

^K  Lösche vom Cursor bis zum Zeilenende.

^P, ^N
    move through history, previous and next, respectively.

^L, ^R
    Aktuelle Zeile neu aufbauen.

<CR>
    places line on history list if non-blank, appends newline and returns to the caller.

<ESC>
    bricht den gegenwärtigen Bearbeitungsvorgang ab.

  ALLGEMEINE BEFEHLE
Die folgenden Befehle stehen in allen vier Ebenen zur Verfügung und bewirken überall das Gleichen.

ShellEscape '!'
    Shell escape. ShellEscape by itself will launch a shell, ShellEscape <command> will run an external <command>. This facility may have been disabled by the System Administrator.

ToggleColor '&'
    ANSI Farben ein-/ausschalten.

RedrawScr '^L'
    Bildschirminhalt neu aufbauen.

ScrollUp '<'
    Eine Zeile nach oben blättern (scrollen).

Currently there is no 'simple' way to delete a postponed article from the postponed-file, you have to use the following command sequence instead: reload it with Postponed, enter editor with PromptYes, quit editor, discard posting with Quit ('^O”y”q'). See also ”-o” command-line switch.

Help 'h'
    Help screen of commands available on the current menu. You can use SearchSubjF ('/'), SearchSubjB ('?') and SearchRepeat ('\') to search on this screen. Quit ('q') returns to the menu.

  GLOBAL OPTIONS MENU AND TINRC CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
At startup, tin reads in the configuration files (see also tin(5)). They contain a list of variables that can be used to configure the way tin works. If it exists, the global configuration file, /etc/tin/tinrc is read. After that, the user's own configuration file is read from ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc. The global file is useful for distributing system-wide defaults to new users who have no private tinrc yet.

The variables are user configurable by editing ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc directly. Most of them can also be set in the GLOBAL OPTIONS MENU which is accessed by pressing OptionMenu ('M') at all levels. It allows the user to customize the behavior of tin. The options are saved to the file ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc when you exit tin so don't edit the file directly whilst tin is running.

In the options menu use the cursor keys in the usual way to move around. Use ConfigSelect ('^J' or '<CR>') to 'open' the option you wish to change. You will need to enter a new value or use '<SPACE>' to toggle the available options. ConfigSelect will save the new value, '<ESC>' will abort without saving changes.

As with the other menus, RedrawScr ('^L') will redraw the screen. You can use SearchSubjF ('/'), SearchSubjB ('?') and SearchRepeat ('\') to search for a specific option. Use Quit ('q') to exit the option menu and keep your changes. Use QuitTin ('Q') to exit without keeping your changes.

The options menu provides access to the attributes menu for the current group by the ConfigToggleAttrib ('<TAB>') command. Pressing ConfigToggleAttrib again toggles back to the options menu. For more information see section "ATTRIBUTES MENU AND GROUP ATTRIBUTES".

The ConfigScopeMenu ('S') command brings up the scopes menu. For more information see section "SCOPES MENU".

Here is a full list of all the available variables. The name in braces is the name of the corresponding setting in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc.

    If set to 'No' then raw uuencoded data is displayed. If set to 'Yes' then sections of uuencoded data will be shown with a single tag line showing the size and filename (much the same as a MIME attachment). If set to 'Hide all' then any line that looks like uuencoded data will be folded into a tag line. This is useful when uuencoded data is split across more than one article but can also lead to false positives. This setting can also be toggled in the article viewer. Default is 'No'.

Externes inews-Programm (inews_prog)
    Path, name and options of external inews(1). If you are reading via NNTP the default value is "--internal" (use built-in NNTP inews), else it is "inews -h". The article is passed to inews_prog on STDIN via '< article'.

Filter (kill) anwenden auf (kill_level)
    This option controls the processing and display of articles that are killed. There are 3 options:

    0   Kill only unread arts is the 'traditional' behavior of tin. Only unread articles are killed once only by marking them read. As filtering only happens on unread articles with kill_level set to 0, art_marked_killed and art_marked_read_selected are only shown once. When you reenter the group the mark will be gone.

    1   Kill all arts & show with K will process all articles in the group and therefore there is a processing overhead when using this option. Killed articles are threaded as normal but they will be marked with art_marked_killed.

    2   Kill all arts and never show will process all articles in the group and therefore there is a processing overhead when using this option. Killed articles simply does not get displayed at all.

    Charset supported locally, which is also used for MIME header (charset parameter and charset name in header encoding) in mail and news postings. If MIME_STRICT_CHARSET is defined at compile time, text in charset other than the value of this parameter is considered not displayable and represented as '?'. Otherwise, all character sets are regarded as compatible with the display. If it's not set, the value of the environment variable $MM_CHARSET is used. US-ASCII or compile-time default is used in case neither of them is defined. If your system supports iconv(3), this option is disabled and you should use mm_network_charset instead.

Conversion between mm_network_charset and local charset (determined via nl_langinfo(3)) is done via iconv(3), if this function is not available on your system this option is disabled and you have to use mm_charset instead. mm_network_charset is limited to one of the following charsets:
    US-ASCII, ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,14,15,16}, KOI8-{R,U,RU} EUC-{CN,JP,KR,TW}, ISO-2022-{CN,CN-EXT,JP,JP-1,JP-2}, Big5, UTF-8
    Not all values might work on your system, see iconv_open(3) for more details. If it's not set, the value of the environment variable $MM_CHARSET is used. US-ASCII or compile-time default is used in case neither of them is defined.

Wenn Sie hier nichts definieren wird diese Option deaktiviert.

Zeige folgende Header nicht an (news_headers_to_not_display)
    Genau das gleiche wie 'news_headers_to_display', mit der Ausnahme, das es das Gegenteil bewirkt. Wenn Sie dachten, das die X- Header eine tolle Sachen waren, nun aber festgestellt haben, das dort einiges überflüssiges steht, dann könnten Sie wie folgt vorgehen: news_headers_to_display=X- news_headers_to_not_display=X-Alan X-Pape Wenn Sie hier nichts angeben, wird diese Option deaktiviert.

Reg. für _Unterstr._ Hervorhebungen (underscores_regex)
    A regular expression that will be applied when reading articles. All matching words are shown in col_markdash or mono_markdash. If underscores_regex is blank, then tin uses a built-in default.

Entferne ~/.article nach dem posten (unlink_article)
    Falls ON entferne ~/.article nach dem posten. Voreinstellung ist ON.

Öffne URLs mit ... (url_handler)
    The program that will be run when launching URLs in the article viewer using PageViewUrl ('U'). The actual URL will be appended to this. Default is url_handler.pl %s.

URL-Hervorhebung im Artikel (url_highlight)
    Enable highlighting URLs in message body. Default is ON.

Benutze ANSI-Farben (use_color)
    AMSI-Farben in tin benutzen. Voreinstellung ist OFF.

Scrollt. vom Nummernblock nutzen (use_keypad)
    Voreinstellung ist OFF.

Maus in xterm nutzen (use_mouse)
    Allows the mouse button support in a xterm(1x) to be enabled/disabled. Default is OFF.

”X-Face:”s mit slrnface Anzeigen (use_slrnface)
    If enabled tin uses slrnface(1) to interpret the ”X-Face:” header. For this option to have any effect, tin must be running in a xterm(1x) and slrnface(1) must be in your $PATH. Default is OFF.

UTF-8-Grafik benutzten (utf8_graphics)
    If ON use UTF-8 characters for indicator ('->'), thread/attachment tree and ellipsis ('...'). Default is OFF.

Reg. Ausd. für den Anfang e. wortgetreuen Textblock (verbatim_begin_regex)
    Ein regulärer Ausdruck, der den Beginn eines wortgetreu wiederzugebenden Absatzes findet.

Reg. Ausd. für das Ende eines wortgetreuen Textblocks (verbatim_end_regex)
    Ein regulärer Ausdruck, der das Ende eines wortgetreu wiederzugebenden Absatzes findet.

Wortgetreue Textblöcke erkennen (verbatim_handling)
    Falls ON werden wortgetreue Textblöcke in Artikeln erkannt. Voreinstellung ist ON.

Platzhalter-Übereinstimmung (wildcard)
    Allows you to select how tin matches strings. The default is 0 and uses the wildmat notation, which is how this has traditionally been handled. Setting this to 1 allows you to use perl(1) compatible regular expressions pcre(3) (see also perlre(1) and pcrepattern(3)). You will probably want to update your filter file if you use this regularly. NB: Newsgroup names will always be matched using the wildmat notation.

Anstelle der Markierung anzeigen (word_h_display_marks)
    Should the leading and ending stars, slashes, strokes and dashes also be displayed, even when they are highlighting marks?

    0   nein

    1   ja, Markierung anzeigen

    2   ein Leerzeichen ausgeben

Wort-Hervorhebung im Artikel (word_highlight)
    Enable word highlighting. See word_h_display_marks for the options available. If use_color is enabled the colors specified in col_markdash, col_markslash, col_markstar and col_markstroke are used for word highlighting else the character attributes specified in mono_markdash, mono_markslash, mono_markstar and mono_markstroke are used. Default is ON.

Zeilen umbrechen nach (wrap_column)
    Sets the column at which a displayed article body should be wrapped. If this value is equal to 0, it defaults to the current screen width. If this value is greater than your current screen width the part off-screen is not displayed. Thus setting this option to a large value can be used to disable wrapping. If this value is negative the wrap margin is the current screen width plus the given value (as long as the result is still positive, otherwise it will fall back to the current screen width). Default is 0, wrapping at the current screen width.

Einleitungszeile beim Crossposten (xpost_quote_format)
    Format is the same as for news_quote_format, this is used when answering to a crossposting to several groups with no ”Followup-To:” set.

  ATTRIBUTES MENU AND GROUP ATTRIBUTES
tin allows certain attributes to be set on a per group basis. If it exists, the global attributes file, ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}/attributes is read. After that, the user's own attributes file ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/attributes is read. The global attributes file is useful for distributing system-wide defaults to new users who have no private attributes file yet.

Note that the scope=<grouplist> line has to be specified before the attributes are specified for that list. All attributes are set to a reasonable default so you only have to specify the attribute that you want to change (e.g., savedir). All toggle attributes are set by specifying ON/OFF. Otherwise, these function exactly the same as their global equivalents. For more details see tin(5).

Attributes can also be changed from the attributes menu which can be accessed by ConfigToggleAttrib ('<TAB>') from the options menu or ScopeSelect ('^J' or '<CR>') from the scopes menu. The attributes menu looks and behaves very similar to the options menu. The title shows the current scope. Attributes set in the current scope are marked with '+' to the left of the attributes number.

Besides the keys for moving around and changing values known from the options menu the attributes menu provides the following command: ConfigResetAttrib ('r') which resets an attribute to a default value.

  SCOPES MENU
The scopes menu (accessible from the options menu with ConfigScopeMenu ('S')) shows all scopes read from the global and local attributes file. Scopes from the global attributes file are marked with '!' to the left of the scope number. Delete/rename/move are not possible with those scopes.

In addition to the common moving keys the following commands are available: ScopeSelect ('^J' or '<CR>') enter the attributes menu for the current scope, ScopeEditAttributesFile ('E') edit the local attributes file, ScopeAdd ('a') add a new scope, ScopeDelete ('d') delete the current scope, ScopeMove ('m') move the current scope to a new position, ScopeRename ('r') rename the current scope. ToggleHelpDisplay ('H') toggles the help mini menu at the bottom of the screen.

  ARTIKEL FILTERN
When there is a subject or an author which you are either very interested in, or find completely uninteresting, you can easily instruct tin to auto-select or auto-kill articles that match rules that you specify. This can be anything from the name of the author to the number of lines in an article.

When tin starts up the user's kill-file ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/filter (see also tin(5)) is read. Each time a newsgroup is entered the rules are applied and articles killed or selected when they meet certain criteria.

The degree to which rules are applied depend on the kill_level tinrc setting. By default killed articles will only be marked read. Adjust kill_level for more aggressive processing. Articles that match an auto-selection rule are marked with a ”*”.

Filtering rules can be manually entered into ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/filter (but don't do this whilst running tin else you will lose your changes) or by using an on-screen menu within tin.

The filtering capabilities of tin have been significantly enhanced over previous versions to include scoring and better pattern matching. It is recommended that you read the file filtering in the tin documentation directory. This file can also be read online at
<http://www.tin.org/filtering.txt>.

The on-screen filtering menu is accessed by pressing MenuFilterKill ('^K') or MenuFilterSelect ('^A') at the Group and Article levels. It allows the user to kill or select an article that matches the current ”Subject:” line, ”From:” line or a string entered by the user. The user entered string can be applied to the ”Subject:” or ”From:” line of an article. The filter can be limited to the current newsgroup or it can apply to all newsgroups. Once entered the user can abort the command and not save the new filter, edit the full filter file or save filter.

  ARTIKEL POSTEN
tin allows posting of articles, follow-up to already posted articles and replying direct through mail to the author of an article.

Use the Post ('w') command to post an article to a newsgroup. After entering the post subject the default editor (i.e., vi(1)) or the editor specified by the $VISUAL or $EDITOR environment variable will be started and the article can be entered. To crosspost articles simply add a comma and the name of the newsgroup(s) to the end of the ”Newsgroups:” line at the beginning of the article. After saving and exiting the editor you are asked if you wish to a)bort posting the article, e)dit the article again or p)ost the article to the specified newsgroup(s).

Use the DisplayPostHist ('W') command to display a history of the articles you have posted. The date the article was posted, which newsgroups the article was posted to and the articles subject line are displayed.

Use the PageFollowupQuote ('f'), PageFollowup ('F') or PageFollowupQuoteHeaders ('^W') command to post a follow-up article to an already posted article. The PageFollowupQuote command will copy the text of the original article into the editor. The PageFollowupQuoteHeaders command will copy the text and all headers of the original article into the editor. The editing procedure is the same as when posting an article with the Post ('w') command.

Use the PageReplyQuote ('r'), PageReply ('R') or PageReplyQuoteHeaders ('^E') command to reply direct through mail to the author of an already posted article. The PageReplyQuote command will copy the text of the original article into the editor. The PageReplyQuoteHeaders command will copy the text and all headers of the original article into the editor. The editing procedure is the same as when posting an article with the Post ('w') command. After saving and exiting the editor you are asked if you wish to abort sending the article via PostAbort ('a'), edit the article again via PostEdit ('e') or send the article to the author via PostSend ('s').

  EINLEITUNGSZEILE ANPASSEN
When posting a followup to an article or replying direct to the author of an article via email the text of the article can be quoted. The beginning of the quoted text can contain information about the quoted article (e.g., Name and the Message-ID of the article). To allow for different situations certain information from the article can be used in the quoted string. The following variables are expanded if found in the tinrc variables mail_quote_format, news_quote_format or xpost_quote_format:
    %A	Mailadresse
    %D	Datum (benutzt date_format)
    %F	Name und Adresse (%N <%A>)
    %G	Name der Gruppe
    %M	Message-ID
    %N	Name des Autors
    %C	Vorname des Autors
    %I	Initialen des Autor
z. B.
    mail_quote_format=Am %D in %G schrieben Sie:
    news_quote_format=In %M schreib %F:
ergäbe folgendes:
    Am 21. Sept 1993 9:45:51 -0400 in alt.sources schrieben Sie:
    In <abcINN123@example.org> schreib Joe Bar <joe@example.org>:
The quoted text section of an article is marked by a preceding quote string at the beginning of each quoted line. The default quote string is set to '>_'. The default can be changed by setting the tinrc variable quote_chars to ones own preference. (Note that '_' underline is used to represent a space).

  MAILING PIPING PRINTING REPOSTING AND SAVING ARTICLES
The command interface to GroupMail, PageMail, PostMail or ThreadMail ('m'), Pipe ('|'), Print ('o'), PageRepost or GroupRepost ('x') and GroupSave, PageSave or ThreadSave ('s' and GroupAutoSave, PageAutoSave or ThreadAutoSave 'S') articles is the same for ease of use.

Auto-saving with *AutoSave ('S') is a special case and operates only on marked articles. They will processed without any further prompting according to the default save parameters defined in tinrc or by any attributes set for the current group.

Otherwise, the initial prompt will ask you to select which article, thread, hot (auto-selected), regular expression pattern, tagged articles you wish to mail, pipe etc.

Tagged articles must have already been tagged with a *Tag ('t') command. All tagged articles can be untagged by a *Untag ('U') untag command.

If a regular expression pattern is selected you are asked to enter a pattern (e.g., to match all articles subject lines containing 'net News' you enter "net News"). Any articles that match the entered expression will be mailed, piped etc. See also the wildcard tinrc variable for advanced pattern matching options.

Various expansion characters are recognized when entering the directory and file to save to. Environment variables (prefixed with '$') and user home directories (prefixed by '~' or '~username') can be specified. Environment variables can themselves contain other special characters.

To save articles to a mailbox enter '=<mailbox name>' when asked for the save filename. If you enter just '=' then articles will be saved to a mailbox with the name of the current newsgroup (eg, alt.sources). See maildir.

To save in savedir/<news.group.name>/<filename> format enter '+<filename>'. Environment variables are allowed within a filename (e.g., $SOURCES/dir/filename). See savedir.

When saving articles you can specify whether the saved files should be post processed. A default process type can be set via post_process_type.

  AUTOMATISCHES MAILEN UND SPEICHERN VON UNGELESENEN ARTIKELN
tin allows new/unread news articles to be mailed (”-M” and ”-N” option) or saved (”-S” option) in batch mode for later reading. Useful when going on holiday and you don't want to return and find that expire has removed a whole load of unread articles. Best to run via cron(1) everyday while away, after which you will be mailed a report of which articles were mailed/saved from which newsgroups and the total number of articles mailed/saved. Articles are saved in a private news structure under your savedir directory (default is ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/News). Be careful of using this option if you read a lot of groups because you could overflow your file system.

When using ”-S” together with a given directory to save to (”-s” option), the same directory must be specified when reading the articles by ”-R”.

If you only want to save some of your groups use the batch_save tinrc variable. Set to ON or OFF in tinrc to enable/disable saving of all groups and then use the batch_save attribute to fine tune which groups you want to have saved. For example, if you want to save most of your groups, then set batch_save to ON in tinrc and selectively turn off the ones you don't want using attributes.

tin -M iain -c -f newsrc.mail
    (mail any unread articles in newsgroups specified in file newsrc.mail to the local user iain and mark them as read)

tin -S -c -f newsrc.save
    (save any unread articles in newsgroups specified in file newsrc.save and mark them as read)

tin -R
    (read any articles saved by tin -S)

  BEREICHE
A range is simply a group of items marked using the SetRange ('#') key. Certain tin commands will operate on a range if one exists rather than just the current item. A range is an expression of the form <min>-<max>, e.g. 10-15 will highlight items 10 through 15 on the current screen. Other than absolute numeric positions, '.' can be used in place of the current cursor position and '$' can be used to mean the highest number available. Currently the only commands that understand ranges are GroupMarkThdRead ('K'), MarkArtUnread ('z') and MarkThdUnread ('Z').

  NEWSGROUP LISTEN & WILDCARDS
Several places in tin allow you to specify a list of newsgroups. These include command-line groups, (un)subscribe groups, the AUTO[UN]SUBSCRIBE mechanism. The scope= attributes file tag and the filter file group= tag also use the same syntax. tin interprets this variable similarly to rn(1). It contains a list of patterns, separated by commas and possibly prefixed with exclamation points. An exclamation point negates the meaning of a match on this pattern, and can be used to cancel certain matches. Some examples:

alt.config,news.*,!news.test

Matches alt.config and everything in the 'news' hierarchy except news.test

See the explanation for the $AUTOSUBSCRIBE variables for further examples.

  SIGNATUREN
tin will recognize a signature in either ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.signature or ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.Sig. If ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.signature exists, then the signature will be pulled into the editor for mail commands only. A signature in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.signature will not be pulled into the editor for posting commands since inews(1) will append the signature itself.

A signature in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.Sig will be pulled into the editor for both posting and mailing commands.

Nachstehend eine Beispiel .Sig Datei:
    NAMES  Erika Mustermann <erika@example.org>
    SNAIL  Heidestraße 17, 99999 Notreal, Germany

tin also has the capability to generate random signatures on a per newsgroup basis if so desired. The way to accomplish this is to specify the default signature or the group attribute sigfile as a directory. If for example the sigfile path is /usr/iain/.sigs and .sigs is a directory then tin will select a random signature from any file that is in the directory .sigs (note: one signature per numbered file). A random signature can also consist of a fixed part signature that can contain your name, address etc. followed by the random sig. The fixed part of the random sig is read from the file $HOME/.sigfixed.

  ANSICHTEN ANPASSEN
Das Aussehen der Auswahl-, Gruppen- und Threadebene kann den eigenen Bedürfnissen angepasst werden. Hierzu dienen Formatanweisungen, welche den Inhalt und die Position der einzelnen Elemente einer Bildschirmzeile definieren. Innerhalb der Formatanweisungen werden Platzhalter eingesetzt, die später beim Bildschirmaufbau durch den eigentlichen Inhalt ersetzt werden. Folgende Platzhalter stehen zur Verfügung:

%D	Datum
%F	Absender, Name und/oder E-Mail Adresse
%G	Name der Gruppe
%I	Initialen des Absenders
%L	Anzahl der Zeilen
%M	Message-ID
%R	Anzahl der Antworten im Thread
%S	Score
%T	Subject und/oder Baumdarstellung des Thread
%U	Anzahl ungelesener Artikel
%d	Gruppenbeschreibung
%f	Gruppenkennzeichnung
%m	Artikelkennzeichnungen
%n	aktuelle Gruppen-, Thread- oder Artikelnummer
%s	Subject
%%	%

Nicht alle Platzhalter können in jeder Ebene verwendet werden. Die folgende Tabelle gibt einen Überblick über die Verfügbarkeit der einzelnen Platzhalter:

	select_format	group_format	thread_format
%D		X	X
%F		X	X
%G	X
%I		X	X
%L		X	X
%M		X	X
%R		X
%S		X	X
%T			X
%U	X
%d	X
%f	X
%m		X	X
%n	X	X	X
%s		X
%%	X	X	X

Voreingestellt sind folgende Formatanweisungen:

select_format:	"%f %n %U  %G  %d"
group_format:	"%n %m %R %L  %s  %F"
thread_format:	"%n %m  [%L]  %T  %F"

Ob in der Auswahlebene die Gruppenbeschreibung angezeigt wird, hängt von show_description ab. Außerdem kann mit SelectToggleDescriptions ('d') die Beschreibung aus- bzw. eingeblendet werden.

Welche Absenderinformationen bei '%F' angezeigt werden ist abhängig von show_author. Zusätzlich kann mit GroupToggleSubjDisplay bzw. ThreadToggleSubjDisplay ('d') durch die möglichen Anzeigeoptionen durchgeschaltet werden.

Für die Datumsanzeige mit '%D' wird date_format benutzt. Man kann allerdings auch in runden Klammern ein eigenes Datumsformat angeben, das anstelle von date_format benutzt werden soll. Der Platzhalter dafür würde dann z. B. so aussehen: '%(%d %b %y %H:%M)D' (siehe date_format für weiterführende Informationen).

Die Länge der einzelnen Elemente (außer '%%') kann mit einer positiven Zahl nach dem '%' definiert werden. Das folgende Beispiel stellt den Score in der Threadebene 10 Zeichen breit dar: '%10S'.

Wenn der Gruppenname zusammen mit der Gruppenbeschreibung angezeigt wird, kann die Breite des Gruppennamens über einen optionalen, durch Komma getrennten, zweiten Wert gesteuert werden (z. B. '%60,20G'). Der erste Wert kann weggelassen werden (z. B. ('%,20G))'. Ist kein zweiter Wert angegeben verwendet tin ein Standardwert von 32.

Einige Platzhalter haben eine voreingestellte Breite die unter Umständen dazu führt, dass der Inhalt abgeschnitten wird. Für Platzhalter die nur Zahlen enthalten wird der Wert durch eine passende Zehnerpotenz geteilt und mit dem zugehörigen SI-Suffix versehen, z. B. wird bei einer Breite von vier aus 54321 dann "54 k". Wenn das nicht gewünscht ist muss die Breite angegeben werden, z. B. '%6n'. Hier ist eine Übersicht der Voreinstellungen:

Platzhalter	Breite
%I	 3
%L	 4
%M	10
%R	 3
%S	 6
%U	 5
%n	 4

Wird bei '%D' keine Länge angegeben, so wird die Länge anhand der Formatanweisung für das Datum und dem aktuellen Tag bestimmt. Sind in der Formatanweisung volle Wochentags- oder Monatsnamen enthalten, kann es vorkommen, dass das Datum anderer Artikel länger als ermittelt ist. In diesem Fall wird das Datum abgeschnitten dargestellt. Das tritt z. B. auf, wenn der aktuelle Monat Mai ist und der Artikel, zu dem das Datum angezeigt werden soll, im Dezember gepostet wurde. In solchen Fällen ist es sinnvoll, die maximale Länge manuell zu ermitteln und in die Formatanweisung einzutragen.

Falls der Formatstring enthält '%G' und '%d' enthält und keine Länge gegeben ist, bestimmt der längste Gruppenname die Länge für '%G.' Der verbleibende Platz wird für '%d' verwendet.

Sind in der Formatanweisung '%F' und '%s' bzw. '%T' enthalten und jeweils keine Längen angegeben, dann nimmt '%F' ein Drittel und '%s' bzw. '%T' zwei Drittel des für beide zusammen verfügbaren Platzes ein.

Weiterhin kann eine Mindestbildschirmbreite pro Element (außer '%%') definiert werden. Das entsprechende Element wird dann erst dargestellt, wenn auf dem Bildschirm mehr Zeichen als angegeben dargestellt werden können. Das ist hilfreich, um die Anzeige bei kleineren Bildschirmen oder Terminalfenstern nicht zu überfrachten. Hier erfolgt die Angabe vor dem den Platzhalter charakterisierenden Buchstaben durch eine positive Zahl, welcher ein '>' vorangestellt wird. Soll z. B. der Score erst ab einer Bildschirmbreite größer 100 Zeichen angezeigt werden, lautet die Formatanweisung '%>100S'.

Wenn eine Längenangabe und eine Mindestbildschirmbreite angegeben werden soll, muss zuerst die Länge und danach die Mindestbreite in der Formatanweisung stehen. Um den Score 10 Zeichen breit und erst ab einer Bildschirmbreite über 100 Zeichen darzustellen, lautet die Anweisung '%10>100S'.

  TIPPS UND TRICKS
tin can be pretty much be navigated by using the four cursor keys. The left arrow key goes up a level, the right arrow key goes down a level, the up arrow key goes up a line and the down arrow key goes down a line.

In den folgenden Newsgruppen finden sich nützliche Informationen über Newssoftware:
—de.comm.software.newsreader (Informationen über Newsreader wie tin, slrn, ...)
—news.software.nntp (Informationen über NNTP)
—news.answers (Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about many different themes)

Many prompts within tin offer a default choice that the cursor is positioned on. By pressing '<CR>' the default value is taken. Most prompts can be aborted by pressing '<ESC>'.

When tin is run in a xterm(1x) it will resize itself each time the xterm(1x) is resized.

tin will reread the ${TIN_LIBDIR:-NEWSLIBDIR}"/"${TIN_ACTIVEFILE:-active} file at set intervals (reread_active_file_secs) to show any newly arrived news.

If you find large number of new newsgroups cluttering up your screen, pressing SelectToggleReadDisplay ('r') will make them go away.

  XTERM BUTTONS
Falls die Umgebungsvariable $TERM auf xterm(1x) gesetzt ist können die Maustasten benutzt werden um Gruppen oder Artikel auszuwählen. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass die Maustasten normal zugeteilt sind (Maustaste1 ist die linke Maustaste).

In general (i.e., for the group, thread and article menus),

Maustaste1 (Links)
    enters next (lower) level if you click on an article, otherwise pages down.

Maustaste2 (Mitte)
    returns to the previous (upper) level if you click on an article, otherwise pages up.

Maustaste3 (Rechts)
    positions on the article line under mouse cursor, or pages down if you've clicked outside the list of articles.

In the group selection menu, if the mouse is pointing at a group then:

Linke Maustaste
    moves to and selects the group pointed at, just like SelectReadGrp ('<CR>').

Mittlere Maustaste
    quits the program, just like Quit ('q').

Rechte Maustaste
    moves to the group pointed at.

In the article menu, if the mouse is pointing at an article (or thread) then:

Linke Maustaste
    reads the article pointed at, just like GroupReadBasenote ('<CR>'), or the thread, just like GroupListThd ('l').

Mittlere Maustaste
    exits the menu, catching up on the group if you have group_catchup_on_exit set in your configuration, just like Quit ('q').

Rechte Maustaste
    moves to the article (or thread) pointed at.

In the thread menu, if the mouse is pointing at an article then:

Linke Maustaste
    reads article pointed at, just like ThreadReadArt ('<CR>').

Mittlere Maustaste
    exits the menu, catching up on the thread if you have thread_catchup_on_exit set in your configuration, just like Quit ('q').

Rechte Maustaste
    moves to the article pointed at.

In other menus and areas button pressing reverts back to usual cut and paste of xterm(1x), but after one click of any button.

  INDEX DATEIEN
If your news server supports NOV index files (see newsoverview(5), most modern installations will) and you have a fast connection to your news server then this section can be ignored.

If your news server doesn't support NOV index files or you have a very slow connection to your news server then tin can cache the index for each newsgroup if cache_overview_files is set to ON. Note that this cache can use up large amounts of disk space if you read a lot of groups and/or high traffic groups.

Each user creates/updates his/her own index files that are stored in ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR:-"${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/.news/. If you are reading via NNTP then the news server name will be appended to keep the indexes for different servers separate. If you are reading off the local spool and local overview files already exist then turning on caching will have no effect. Likewise unless you see significant delays entering a group when reading via NNTP then turning on caching will have little or no effect.

Entering a group the first time tends to be slow because the index file must be built from scratch. To alleviate the slowness start tin to create all index files for the groups you subscribe to with tin -u -v and go for a coffee. Subsequent readings of a group will only need to do incremental updating of the index file and will be much faster as only new articles will need to be cached.

As indexing might take some time you may want to run tin form the system batcher cron(1) with the ”-u” option:

    30 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/tin -u

If you are low on local disk space you should consider to manually purge cached data for groups you are not reading anymore with something like:

    find ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR:-"${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/.news* \
    -type f -name "[0-9]*.[0-9]" -atime +28 | xargs rm -f

UMGEBUNGSVARIABLEN

TINRC
    Define this variable if you want to specify command-line options that tin should be started with to save typing them each time it is started. The contents of the environment variable are added to the front of the command-line options before it is parsed therefore allowing an option specified on the command-line to override the same option specified in the environment.

TIN_HOMEDIR
    Define this variable if you do not want the .tin directory in $HOME/. E.g., if you want all tin's private files in /tmp/.tin you would set $TIN_HOMEDIR to /tmp.

TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR
    Define this variable if you do not want the .news directory in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/. E.g., if you want all tin's news index files in /tmp/.news you would set $TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR to /tmp.

TIN_INDEX_MAILDIR
    Define this variable if you do not want the .mail directory in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/. E.g., if you want all tin's mail index files in /tmp/.mail you would set $TIN_INDEX_MAILDIR to /tmp.

TIN_INDEX_SAVEDIR
    Define this variable if you do not want the .save directory in ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/. E.g., if you want all tin's save index files in /tmp/.save you would set $TIN_INDEX_SAVEDIR to /tmp.

TIN_LIBDIR
    Define this variable if you want to override the NEWSLIBDIR path that was compiled into the tin binary, default is /usr/lib/news. If tin is running in NNTP mode setting this variable has no effect.

TIN_SPOOLDIR
    Define this variable if you want to override the SPOOLDIR path that was compiled into the tin binary, default is /var/spool/news. If tin is running in NNTP mode setting this variable has no effect.

TIN_NOVROOTDIR
    Define this variable if you want to override the NOVROOTDIR path that was compiled into the tin binary, default is SPOOLDIR (see above). If tin is running in NNTP mode setting this variable has no effect.

TIN_NOVFILENAME
    Define this variable if you want to override the OVERVIEW_FILE filename that was compiled into the tin binary, default is .overview. If tin is running in NNTP mode setting this variable has no effect.

TIN_ACTIVEFILE
    Define this variable if you want to override the NEWSLIBDIR/active path that was compiled into the tin binary. If tin is running in NNTP mode setting this variable has no effect. If $TIN_LIBDIR is set it is prepended to $TIN_ACTIVEFILE.

NNTPSERVER
    The default NNTP server to remotely read news from. This variable only needs to be set if the ”-r” command-line option is specified and the file /etc/nntpserver does not exist. The ”-g” command line option overrides $NNTPSERVER.

NNTPPORT
    The NNTP TCP-port to read news from. This variable only needs to be set if the TCP-port is not 119 (the default). The ”-p” command-line option overrides $NNTPPORT.

DISTRIBUTION
    Set the article header field ”Distribution:” to the contents of the variable instead of the system default.

ISO2ASC
    Set the ISO to ASCII charset decoding table character to use in decoding an article text. Values can range from -1 to 6.

    -1  Keine Umformung

    0   Universal-Tabelle für viele Sprachen

    1   single-spacing universal table

    2   Tabelle für Dänisch, Niederländisch, Deutsch, Norwegisch und Schwedisch

    3   table for Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish using the appropriate ISO 646 variant

    4   table with RFC1345 codes in brackets

    5   table for printers that allow overstriking with backspace

    6   table for IBM PC character set (code page 437)

ORGANIZATION
    Set the article header field ”Organization:” to the contents of the variable instead of the system default. If reading news on an Apollo DomainOS machine the environment variable $NEWSORG has to be used instead of $ORGANIZATION.

NEWSORG (DomainOS)
    DomainOS spezifisch, wie $ORGANISATION auf anderen Betriebssystemen (siehe oben).

REPLYTO
    Set the article header field ”Reply-To:” to the return address specified by the variable. This is useful if you wish to receive replies at a different address.

NAME
    Overrides the full name given in the gecos-files in /etc/passwd, see also mail_address.

REALNAME
    Same as $NAME.

HOME
    Das Anmeldeverzeichnis des Benutzers. Weitere Informationen finden sich in environ(5).

MAILER
    This variable has precedence over the default mailer that is used in all mailing operations within tin.

MAIL
    Full path to the user's mailbox.

VISUAL
    This variable has precedence over the default editor (i.e., vi(1)) that is used in all editing operations within tin (e.g., posting, replying, follow-ups, ...). Evaluation order is ${VISUAL:-"${EDITOR:-vi}"}. See environ(5) for more info.

EDITOR
    If $VISUAL is unset, then this variable is looked up for a default editor. If $EDITOR and $VISUAL are both unset, tin uses the systems default editor (i.e. vi(1)) on UNIX-systems). See environ(5) for more info.

AUTOSUBSCRIBE
    A new group is checked against the list of patterns; if it matches, tin subscribes the user to the group without further query. See the section "NEWSGROUP LISTS & WILDCARDS" for an explanation of the valid syntax. For example, setting

    AUTOSUBSCRIBE=comp.os.unix.*,talk.*,!talk.politics.*

    will automatically subscribe the user to all new groups in the comp.os.unix hierarchy, and all talk groups other than talk.politics groups (which will be queried for as usual). Of course this does not work if tin is started with the ”-X” command-line switch.

AUTOUNSUBSCRIBE
    Is handled like the $AUTOSUBSCRIBE variable, but groups matching the list are unsubscribed from without further query. For example, setting

    AUTOUNSUBSCRIBE=alt.flame.*,u*,!uk.*

    will automatically unsubscribe the user from all new alt.flame groups and all groups starting with u (university groups) other than UK groups (which will be queried for as usual).

TMPDIR
    A pathname of a directory made available for tin to create temporary files.

MAILCAPS
    This variable can be used to override the default path search for mailcap(5) files. See also tin(5).

NOMETAMAIL
    Set this variable to disable the use of metamail(1) or a replacement (e.g. metamutt).

MM_CHARSET

ISPELL
    Set this variable to point to ispell(1) or a replacement and its cmd-line options.

PGPOPTS
    Define any additional options that you wish to pass to your pgp(1) or gpg(1) program.

PGPPATH
    Override the name of the pgp(1) directory in $HOME that holds your keys etc..

GNUPGHOME
    Override the name of the gpg(1) directory in $HOME that holds your keys etc..

LC_CTYPE
    This variable determines the locale(5) category for character handling functions. Usually it determines the character classes for pattern matching character classification and case conversion. Currently this is not true for tin (which temporary unsets $LC_CTYPE right before any match is done to avoid confusion). It's value should be of the form language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]. See environ(5) for more information.

LC_MESSAGES
    Formats of informative and diagnostic messages and interactive responses. It's value should be of the form language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]. See locale(5) and environ(5) for more information.

LC_TIME
    Date and time formats. It's value should be of the form language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]. See locale(5) and environ(5) for more information.

LC_ALL
    This variable overrides the value of the $LANG variable and any other $LC_ variable. It's value should be of the form language[_territory][.codeset]. See locale(5) and environ(5) for more information.

LANG
    This variable determines the locale(5) category for any category not specifically selected with a variable starting with $LC_. It's value should be of the form language[_territory][.codeset]. See environ(5) for more information.

LANGUAGE
    This variable defines a priority list for translations. Whenever a translation is not available in the language selected via $LC_ALL or $LANG the next language from the list is tried. It's value should be of the form language:language[:language]. See environ(5) for more information.

COLUMNS
    A decimal integer > 0 used to indicate the user's preferred width in column positions for the terminal screen or window. If this variable is unset or null, the implementation determines the number of columns, appropriate for the terminal or window. When $COLUMNS is set, any terminal-width information implied by $TERM will be overridden. Users and portable applications should not set $COLUMNS unless they wish to override the system selection and produce output unrelated to the terminal characteristics.

LINES
    A decimal integer > 0 used to indicate the user's preferred number of lines on a page or the vertical screen or window size in lines. A line in this case is a vertical measure large enough to hold the tallest character in the character set being displayed. If this variable is unset or null, the implementation determines the number of lines, appropriate for the terminal or window. When $LINES is set, any terminal-height information implied by $TERM will be overridden. Users and portable applications should not set $LINES unless they wish to override the system selection.

TERM
    Der verwendete Terminaltyp. Weitere Informationen finden sich in environ(5).

DISPLAY
    Display name, pointing to the X server; required for xface.

WINDOWID
    Used for determining terminal's X window id; required for xface. Should be set by the terminal emulator.

SHELL
    The pathname of the user's login shell. Used to set default_shell_command.

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
    The pathname of the user's dir to put non-essential run time files into.

SIGNALE
tin verarbeitet folgende Signale:

SIGHUP
    Terminate gracefully.

SIGTERM
    Terminate gracefully.

SIGUSR1
    Beenden ohne das Terminal (tty) wiederherzustellen.

SIGUSR2
    Speichern der ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.newsrc-Datei.

SICHERHEIT
If tin is started in debug mode (”-D n”) it will create world readable files in $TMPDIR which may contain the users NNTP password in cleartext. On multiuser-systems $TMPDIR should be set to a safe location before starting tin in debug mode (e.g. TMPDIR=$HOME tin -D 1).

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

GESCHICHTE
tin basiert auf tass(1), einem Newsreader der von Rich Skrenta entwickelt und dessen Code im März 1991 von ihm in alt.sources veröffentlicht wurde. Die erste Version von tin wurde am 23. August 1991 veröffentlicht. tass(1) orientiert sich stark an notesfiles, einer Public Domain Version für UNIX von PLATO Notes, welches 1982 von Ray Essick und Rob Kolstad an der University of Illinois entstand. Eine Übersicht der Versionen findet sich unter
<http://www.tin.org/history.html>.
