Hello all,

Does anybody have Tin 1.2.2 working correctly with FreeBSD?  It compiled
out of the box, but does a couple of strange things: 

When tagged articles are saved, tin prompt for a save file name, then
ignores it and saves everything to "null". Amusingly, no files named
"null" appear in ~/News. 

A second curiosity is tin's interaction with emacs 19.19: Under X,
it works like a charm, but if I'm running a telnet or rlogin session
emacs reports "stopped, tty output" and tin immediatly gives a 
completion prompt.

If anybody can offer suggestions I'd be most grateful. The author of
tin replied that he'd never seen such behavior :-(

thanks for reading

bob
