When you are finished writing your letter, save the file, and, if appropriate, change and save any header information. After a few moments, your article will be available to anyone reading that newsgroup. If you would like to read your posting, exit tin and invoke it again so any new articles will be loaded. Delete unnecessary quoted material. If your article contains quoted text please take some time to pare it down to just the key points to which you are responding.
Many people have the habit of skipping any article when the first page is largely quoted material.
Format your article with a line width of 80 characters or less. A 72 character line length is a good choice as it allows quoting without exceeding the limit. If your lines are too long they'll wrap around and people may not read what you write. If you aren't careful and considerate in formatting your posting, people are likely to ignore it completely. In order to print out a copy of a news article, you must be reading that article.
