4. Q: When I post an article, and then go to read it in the news group, the subject is there but the text of my article does not show up.

   A: This happens when tin invokes your editor with the +6 flag which some editors don't understand -- most likley you will find the text of your article in a file called "+6" in your home directory. To fix this problem, edit your ~/.tin/tinrc file and on the line which begins default_editor_format: remove the part of the line reading "+%N" and it will now work.
