Also known as: Netnews Article Format
The 2009 document that specifies the netnews article format: which headers an article may carry, how Message-ID, Newsgroups, From and References are constructed, and what counts as a valid body. It split the old RFC 1036 into format and architecture halves, the architecture half becoming RFC 5537. Articles that violate it may be rejected or silently dropped by strict servers.
