Newsgroups Header

Also known as: Newsgroups

The header naming which groups an article is posted to, comma-separated with no spaces between them. Listing more than one makes the article a crosspost, stored once and linked from each group named. Servers reject articles that name only groups they do not carry, and many cap how many groups a single article may list, since long Newsgroups lines are characteristic of bulk spam.
