Synopsis

                        n.body(id,file)

id is a string, either an article ID enclosed in angle brackets (<>) or an article number in the current group. Returns a tuple of three strings and a list ( response,number,id,list ), where number is the article number in the current group, id is the article ID enclosed in angle brackets, and list is a list of strings that are the lines in the article’s body, without end-of-line characters. When file is not None, it can be either a string naming a file that head then opens for writing, or a file object already open for writing. In either case, body writes the article’s body to the file, and list in the tuple it returns is an empty list.
