In which case it's doable, but not automagic,
I don't think there is an snews variant with a cancel function,
I'm more certain that the official version doesn't have such a
function[1]
It would have been a question of writing the cancel, at least semi,
manually. Someone should have known how to do this though.

[1] At this point I expect to be told my memory is at fault.
