EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

	    0  Successful completion.

	   !=0 An error occurred.

ENVIRONMENT
       $NNTPSERVER
	   Set to override the NNTP server configured in the source.

       $NNTPPORT
	   The NNTP TCP-port to post news to. This variable only needs to be
	   set if the TCP-port is not 119 (the default). The '-p' command-line
	   option overrides $NNTPPORT.

       $PGPPASS
	   Set to override the passphrase configured in the source (used for
	   pgp(1)-2.6.3).

       $PGPPASSFILE
	   Passphrase file used for pgp(1) or gpg(1).

       $SIGNER
	   Set to override the user-id for signing configured in the source.
	   If you neither set $SIGNER nor configure it in the source the con‐
	   tents of the From:-field will be used.

       $REPLYTO
	   Set the article header field Reply-To: to the return address speci‐
	   fied by the variable if there isn't already a Reply-To: header in
	   the article.	 The '-r' command-line option overrides $REPLYTO.

       $ORGANIZATION
	   Set the article header field Organization: to the contents of the
	   variable if there isn't already a Organization: header in the arti‐
	   cle. The '-o' command-line option overrides $ORGANIZATION.

       $DISTRIBUTION
	   Set the article header field Distribution: to the contents of the
	   variable if there isn't already a Distribution: header in the arti‐
	   cle. The '-d' command-line option overrides $DISTRIBUTION.

FILES
       pgptmp.txt
	   Temporary file used to store the reformatted article

       pgptmp.txt.asc
	   Temporary file used to store the reformatted and signed article

       $PGPPASSFILE
	   The passphrase file to be used for pgp(1) or gpg(1).

       $HOME/.signature
	   Signature-file which will be automatically included.

SECURITY
       If you've configured or entered a password, even if the variable that
       contained that password has been erased, it may be possible for someone
       to find that password, in plaintext, in a core dump. In short, if seri‐
       ous security is an issue, don't use this script.

NOTES
       tinews.pl is designed to be used with pgp(1)-2.6.3, pgp(1)-5 and
       gpg(1).

       tinews.pl requires the following standard modules to be installed:
       Getopt::Long(3pm), Net::NNTP(3pm), Time::Local(3pm) and Term::Read‐
