First your 'subject:' says (p)ost, tin's post command is 'w', are you
using that?
Assuming you are using the correct command, after entering in the
subject, tin creates the temporary file ~/.article using vi. If vi is
not available, then you get a symptom like you describe. You can set the
editor of your choice using the EDITOR environment variable. For
example, to use the editor pico (comes with mailer pine), enter 'setenv
EDITOR pico' at your prompt. Then start tin.
Hope this helps,
