Thank you so much for the info, Bruce. I followed your instructions
and received the message re cancellation request being sent to the
server, but, 90 minutes later, it is still there. Is this usual,
please? Incidentally, it isn`t an MSN newsgroup, thank goodness.

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
