7.1.1. The Body of the 'newgroup' Control Message

7.1.1.  The Body of the 'newgroup' Control Message
   The body of the newgroup message contains the following subparts,
   preferably in the order shown:

   1. An "application/news-groupinfo" part (7.1.2) containing the name
      and newsgroups-line of the group(s). This part MUST be present.

   2. Other parts containing useful information about the background of
      the newsgroup message (typically of type "text/plain").

   3. Parts containing initial articles for the newsgroup. See section
      7.1.3 for details.

   In the event that there is only the single (i.e. application/news-
   groupinfo) subpart present, it will suffice to include a "Content-
   Type:  application/news-groupinfo" amongst the headers of the control
   message.  Otherwise, a "Content-Type: multipart/mixed header" will be
   needed, and each separate part will then need its own Content-Type
   header.
