Actually, even easier is simply to "Reload" - the canceled message disappears!

I tried that via Netscape's nntp interface -- "Get Msg" (1) -- but it didn't
nuke the cancelled message in the other ng.

I suppose the Web interface should be the final arbiter on these things,
since its message list is generated on-the-spot.
