Cancels in general on other news servers? Even if a cancel is accepted and propagated to other news servers, you can never be sure, that others can not see the cancelled message. The user may have a local news server which may have received the message before it was cancelled. Then there are news server which require Cancel-Lock & Cancel-Key for an allowed cancel. You may use a news server which does not require them, so you do not need them for a cancel on that news server. But other news server, requiring them, will not accept the cancel. So you may end up with a successful cancel on your own news server while the posting can still be read via other news server. :) Hartmut _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
