Re: tin: article stubs one line short

It is not a bug in the editor, because regarless of the editor `tin'
2.6.3 on FreeBSD 14.1 pre-generates an article with /only one/ empty

use) pre-genenerates articles with two empty lines at the end. I
think it is an error in `tin' 2.6.3.  Or can this have been changed
intentionally?

kinda, just tested it with an editor which doesn't complain _and_ jumps
one line _past_ the last line if called with +N > lines_in_file (e.g.
nano, joe, ...). I'll revert that change (= adding an additional
\n to the stub):

meanwhile you might be able to use something like (depends on your $SHELL)
editor_format=%E +$((%N - 1)) %F
