I'm not sure what you mean.  I was using RFC 5536 to mean the Internet
Request For Comments numbered 5536.  It defines the format for Usenet
posts.

I'd call it ASCII text though even that is probably not quite enough.
For example, does your news client do something helpful with a form feed
character?  For example,

Some clients put this text on another "page".  It used to be used for
"spoilers" but when clients started to emerge that did not understand
the convention, people had to find another way to do it.  Using lots of
blank lines or ROT-13, for example.

The point being that even ASCII includes a lot of control characters
that might confuse a reader (either human or software).  You want a term
for low-bit ASCII text the excludes all but a few well-understood
controls like TAB, LF and CR.  I don't know of a good term for that.
