But news readers only allow users to cancel their own messages. From time to time it may be necessary for the administrator to remove a message posted by someone else. For example, if a user posts an offensive message and refuses to cancel it. The Configure program allows you to do this. To cancel a message select the Cancel Message On Server... item from the Server menu. A dialog box appears requesting the message-ID of the message you with to cancel. Every message has a unique message-ID in it's header. To find a message's message-ID, look for a line at the beginning of the message that starts with ``Message-ID:''. Message-ID's always begin with a `<` character and end with a `>' character. Once you have entered the message-ID, click the OK button to send the cancel request to the server. The CLNews server will attempt to cancel the message. Be sure to check the server's log to determine if the message was successfully cancelled.
