How do you use pine to cancel a message you posted to a news group?

Thanks,
Nancy

    I have never tried it, but the following was posted on this 
newsgroup last spring.

Get the original post number (the "references") and be sure to have a
"Control:" header in the list of optional headers, or use the command
in pine to allow you to add it.

Use the following headers:

Control: cancel <[email-masked]> 
Subject: cmsg cancel <[email-masked]> 

And have a non-empty text; the signature should be sufficient
