3.3.1  Lines

   The Lines header indicates the number of lines in the body of the
   article.

   lines           =  "Lines" ":" SP [FWS] 1*DIGIT [FWS] 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 obsolescent, and it is likely to be
   removed entirely in a future version of this standard.  Servers and
   clients SHOULD ignore it, and SHOULD NOT generate it.
