fine, tin is compiled with debugging support enabled so you can
use "tin -D 1" (if you are on a multiuser system you may want to set $TMPDIR
to a safe location first, see tin(1) "SECURITY") to capture the full NNTP
dialog. Try to post to a group where the posting fails and send the
generated logfile to me, so I can see if the required headers are passed to
the server or not. Be aware the the log may hold your username/password for
the news server if the server requires authentication or you force tin to
alway send authentication data -> look for lines with AUTHINFO in them and
strip them from the generated NNTP file first.
