Subject: How to watch a thread in tin?

I am using the Usenet program tin on my unix mailgate system. When I post 
a message in a group and I want to look the next day if there are any 
reactions (follow-up's) yet, I have to remember the subject text in order 
to search the thread. That is a nuissance, I think. Isn't there a way to 
automatically keep track of certain threads and be warned if a follow-up 
has been posted on one of your contributions? I know this can be done in 
some Windows newsreaders but can it be done with tin also?

Regards,
Michiel

Easiest way is probably to search by author, with your name (michielp) as 
the author.  In TIN type 'a' to search by author.  If you don't remember 
what group(s) you posted to, type W (shift + w) to get a list of your 
posts.  Hope this helps.  BYE.
