|
The most widely known message is cancel, with which a user may
|
|
cancel an article sent by her earlier. This effectively removes the
|
|
article from the spool directories, if it exists. The cancel
|
|
message is forwarded to all sites that receive news from the groups
|
|
affected, regardless of whether the article has been seen already or
|
|
not. This is to take into account the possibility that the original
|
|
article has been delayed over the cancelation message. Some news
|
|
systems allow users to cancel other person's messages; this is of course
|
|
a definite no-no.
