Subject: How do I cancel my Usenet postings in Pine?

There seems to be a very serious deficiency in Pine in that it is very
difficult to cancel your own Usenet postings which you may have had
second thoughts about or discovered an error.

I understand that you have to find the article number and then manual
insert that in a Control field.

Why cant Pine be like other news readers and simply have a "Cancel"
button?

Or perhaps I'm missing something?

I wish that in news, reading an article marked it as read, and that
Delete deleted it (cancel), but from past discussion I realize the
pine developers have their own view of this.
