Boy, that was stupid. I really do wish I could cancel messages.
I just realized that there is a "confirmation code", which right now is used
when you request having a newsgroup sent to you via email (the page where this
happens is http://lugnet.com/news/mail/setup/ )
So I'll modify my suggestion and say, if you want to cancel a message you
should either have the confirmation code already in your browser as a cookie,
or you should be sending email from the email address that the message is
currently linked to (the email address you had when you posted the message), or
you should manually supply the confirmation code.
