Tools | Options | Maintenance | Clean Up Now. Select the newsgroup at the
top and then Reset and follow up with a Compact. All the messages on the
server will be downloaded again.

If this is an MSNews newsgroup, Cancel will not remove it from the server.

I have made the mistake of just deleting a message I posted to a newsgroup,
rather than using Cancel Message, and, of course, the message is no longer
on my computer to cancel. Is it possible to reinstate it, please?

Thanks
Kate
