"Tin" is a program for reading and posting articles to Usenet News (a 
sort of world0wide bulletin board system).  Tin is a dedicated news 
handling program.  However other programs now offer you the ability to 
read and post news articles too.  For example some World-Wide Web 
browsers (such as Lynx and Netscape Navigator) and, of course, Pine.

If you want to find out more about reading/posting Usenet News articles 
from Pine then this is the place to ask.  If you are more interested in 
Tin in particular you should try the "news.software.readers" newsgroup.

Cheers,

To post, you should use the Rich Headers option. It adds "Newsgroups:" as 
a header. Put the name of the newsgroup there and compose your message 
normally. I don't read news in Pine. I prefer Tin.
