Using 19990712 builds on Win32, mac and linux, you are currently limited to canceling only news msgs from your identity with the lowest number. Example: in your preferences you have qatest04 =id0, qatest03=id1 and 3qatest07=id2. If you send a message using qatest03 to a news group, you can't cancel that message. Currently id0 is the only id you can cancel messages from. We need to recognize all the account id's so the user can cancel messages without changing preferences. 1. Have multiple account id's (0 - 2) in your prefs50.js file and a news account. 2. Launch Messenger 3. Click New Msg and change the From: to an account that is not id0 and send the message to a newsgroup. 4. Open the news group and select that message. 5. Select Delete Message from the Edit menu (delete will change to cancel later on in the product). 6. Select another message, then select the one you just deleted. It should state in the message pane that the article/message is no longer there. It doesn't at this time, because it doesn't recognize all your accounts.

fixed. When you attempt to cancel, and the server doesn't support the CANCELCHK extension, I check against *all* the identities. If one of the identities matches the author of the post, the cancel is permitted.
