> How did you do that ? (Cancel a post)

Find the message id and prefix a message whose subject and body has
"cmsg cancel" before the message-id. The message-id can be seen by
showing the full header of the message. For example:

cmsg cancel <31DC2195.539E@airmail.net>

As both the subject and message body, issued by the original author,
will cancel the posting. Note: attempts to cancel messages not owned by
the message author are a bad thing -- likly to lead to loss of internet
access.
