In tin 1.9.6 the problem persists.  I have tried the
same with another thread from another newsgroup, and
again,  it was successfully saved in ~/News/..., but
none of its messages were visible  when  using  'tin
-R', after which the thread was marked as read...

With  the  new  tin, I can't even get to the list of
newsgroups.

Without news.tin.org registered in newsauth,  start-
ing tin yields:

  Server expects authentification.
      Please, eneter username: anton

I press enter, tin asks for a password.  I press en-
ter again and tin writes:

  NNTP authorization password not found for news.tin.org.

and exits.  If I enter an empty login  and  password
tin  exists silently.  If I put some login and pass-
word in .newsauth, tin says:

  Authorization failed for user: anton
