Incidentally -- I got *lots* of responses to this which includes:
    "you can't kill a uucp message"
    "login to that host and do the uustat command like it says!"
    "Do you have a termcap entry for the commodore 64?"
    "Send email to postmaster@offending.site and ask them to do it for you."

I opted for the last one.  Perhaps it would be nice to set up an automation
script that can do this automatically (of course, authentication would be
highly desired :-).  Just email to "uukill@offending.site" and the subject
would contain the job to kill..  just an idea.
