In Thunderbird and MS-OE, clicking the rigth button it was said
that appears an option to cancel messages in the server(s).

¿Any idea if this option (will) come with pine?

Thanks. Cheers

News or mail?


There is no common (standard?) way to delete mail messages.

There is a way to delete news messages, written by the author but not
all news servers support this command. So as long as you post is still
on the 'first' new server, there is a chance to get it deleted. If the
message is on more than one server... well, I guess there is no way to
remove all these messages.

Actually, I think that some NNTP servers do honor 'cancel' and
'supersede' messages for messages that originated on another NNTP
server. But, it's very likely that once a message is out in the
wild, it will be archived somewhere and will be accessible
FOREVER. Anyway, given that, I wrote instructions for how to
cancel in Pine in this 1999 message:

<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.mail.pine/msg/c525ecbe49fd862b>

One of these days, I'll put this on my wiki (which doesn't exist
YET!).

Hope this helps,
Nancy
