Hello,

I have a question, how to set tin (or other reader) not to send the User
agent?

Thank you.

Put/change "advertising=OFF" in ~/.tin/tinrc, or via the
configuration menu. Or in ~/.tin/attributes to apply settings only
for certain groups.

I have another question, is 'tin' capable to connect to a tls server
(nntps port 563)?

I tried to add port to ~/.tin/newsrctable
also I tried to add -p 563 to the command line...

the result is it do not connect, and it seems that 'tin' can not handle
ssl/tls

Thank you.

It has a setting:
tls_ca_cert_file
The name of file containing all trusted CA certificates used for
NNTPS (RFC8143) connections. If left empty the system default
will be used.

tls_ca_cert_file is not present in ~/tin/tinrc

if I add it manually, after first run of tin, the parameter is deleted
by the application.

I use tin 2.6.3, installed from AUR (arch)

something is fishy ...

I don't have in in tinrc either. But I haven't used secure nntp
since secnews.netscape. But it's evidence that tin does (should,
can, did) support tls. What nntps server are you trying to
connect to?

'--with-nntps' is missing from PKGBUILD

I added --with-nntps to PKGBUILD file.
recompile the AUR package, and reinstall

added local CA certs to tls_ca_cert_file parameter

and start the application with -T parameter.

NNTPS is alive :)

NNTPS support has only been in Tin for the last couple of versions.
I'm guessing that the AUR package maintainer didn't notice that the
new option to enable it was available.
