1.2 Scope This document specifies the syntax of network news (Netnews) articles in the context of the "Internet Message Format" [RFC2822] and "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)" [RFC2045]. This document supersedes [RFC1036], updating it to reflect current practice and incorporating changes and clarifications specified in other documents such as [Son-of-1036]. This is the first in a set of documents that obsolete [RFC1036]. This document focuses on the syntax and semantics of Netnews articles. [USEPRO] is also a standards-track document, and describes the protocol issues of Netnews articles, independent of transport protocols such as [NNTP]. An best common practice document, [USEAGE], describes implementation recommendations to improve interoperability and usability. This specification is intended as a definition of what article content format is to be passed between systems. Though some news systems locally store articles in this format (which eliminates the need for translation between formats) and others use formats that differ from the one specified in this standard, local storage is outside of the scope of this standard.[< Prev] [TOC] [ Next >]
