ISSUE: Format of batched news in response to sendme



In response to a sendme control message, an article is sent, normally
using the news transport mechanism (typically UUCP in such cases). I.e.,
it is on the same "wire" as the sendme control message. Therefore it is in
order to document the (somewhat bizarre) format, as was done in
Son-of-1036 and in Usepro-06. It is documented nowhere else.

Note that, as compared to Usepro-06, some brief mention of variants of the
format for compressed batches would be in order.
