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.
