How do you cancel articles - I'm using Netscape News.

In Netscape Communicator 4.5 (which just happens to be what I use), you can
right-click on the message in the message list window, and select "Cancel
message".  If the news server lets you (which it should if you authored the
message using the same nntp client), the message will be dropped into the
Great Bit Recycler.

Note that this won't work if the message is someone else's, or if it's been
posted via the Web or e-mail gateways.  (Is this correct, Todd?)

Does anyone else have message cancellation tips for other nntp clients?

Cheers,
