3.3.1 Lines
The Lines header indicates the number of lines in the body of the
article.
lines = "Lines" ":" SP [CFWS] 1*DIGIT [CFWS] CRLF
The line count includes all body lines, including the signature if
any, including empty lines (if any) at the beginning or end of the
body, and including the whole of all MIME message and multipart parts
contained in the body (the single empty separator line between the
headers and the body is not part of the body). The "body" here is
the body as found in the posted article as transmitted by the posting
agent.
Historically, this header was used by the [NNTP] overview extension,
but its use for this purpose is now deprecated. As a result, this
header is to be regarded as obsolete, and it will likely be removed
entirely in a future version of this standard.
