BODY Command

Also known as: BODY

Retrieves an article's body without its headers. Download clients that already hold header data from an NZB or an overview fetch use it to save the few hundred bytes of headers on every segment, which adds up across the thousands of articles in a large release. The reply is 222 followed by the body, ended by a lone dot.
