3.1.5  Newsgroups

   The Newsgroups header specifies the newsgroup(s) to which the article
   is posted.

   newsgroups      =  "Newsgroups:" SP newsgroup-list CRLF

   newsgroup-list  =  [FWS] newsgroup-name
            *( [FWS] "," [FWS] newsgroup-name ) [FWS]

   newsgroup-name  =  component *( "." component )

   component       =  1*component-char

   component-char  =  ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "_"
      NOTE: Observe that the syntax does not allow comments within the
      Newsgroups header; this is to simplify processing by relaying and
      serving agents which have a requirement to process this header
      extremely rapidly.

   Components beginning with underline ("_") are reserved for use by
   future versions of this standard and MUST NOT occur in <newsgroup-
   name>s (whether in Newsgroups headers or in newgroup control messages
   [USEPRO]).  However, such names MUST be accepted.

   The specific format and lengths of <newsgroup-name> and <component>
   are discussed in [USEAGE].
