ietf-nntp Pat Command

I was just reading the Pat command and have a question about it.

If I were to send the command WITHOUT selecting a current group:
PAT subject <messageid>

The output from the server should be:
221 Header Follows
article-nbr subject-line
.

The problem is - since there is no current group, there can't be any article
number!  What should the article number be in this case - 0?
