Also known as: POST
Submits a new article to a server. The client sends POST, gets a 340 invitation, sends headers and body ending with a single dot on its own line, and receives 240 on success or 441 on rejection. Servers that do not accept posting from an account answer 440. Dot-stuffing protects any body line that itself begins with a period.
