Default Ability to cancel newsgroup item

I use newsgroups extensively and am no longer able to cancel messages as I have been able to in the past. When I click on a message, then click Message, the Cancel message is not bold. I have not made any changes in Outlook Express and am looking for answers from anyone.

Thanks, Duuna R

The Cancel Message option will only be bold if you have /one/ message header
highlighted, (i.e. expand the thread first), and the message was sent by
you.

That said, few news servers acknowledge your request and the message will
not be canceled. MSNews will not remove it for one.

That is exactly the case, but it will not go bold.

If you are sure you are clicking on a /single/ message header for a post
/you/ sent using the same address and it is still grayed out:

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.
