Then press ‘C’ or ‘S c’ | (‘gnus-summary-cancel-article’). Your article will be canceled—machines | all over the world will be deleting your article.

I remember that some time ago, I did cancel an article of mine at our local news server, so it should work in certain cases. Bye, Tassilo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
