Not in NNTP.

Possibly worth discussing on the NNTP extensions mailing list, but I
personally dislike seeing more than one type of multiline response in a
given protocol.  NNTP already does have a multiline response mechanism
that's usable; it's not as flexible as the method used by FTP and SMTP,
but that in and of itself I don't think is sufficient justification to
introduce a new method.
