Check my reply to Xena a few posts up:

If you made a post that you aren't happy with or that you regret posting
after you have already posted it... made multiple posts, etc.. you can
right click the post and select "cancel message" Be aware that if
someone has already read your post.. it will still show up on their
computer, but as "deleted".. so you have to do it quick! :)

hrmm... I haven't used outlook in a long time...I'd still imagine there
is an option to delete posts from there as well, probably close to the
same order.

[View Quote] Straight from Outlook Express help:
"
To cancel a posted message

In the Folders list, select the newsgroup in which you posted the message, and then select your message.
On the Message menu, click Cancel Message.
Notes

You can only cancel messages that you posted.
After you cancel a message, it may take some time for it to be removed from your server and other servers on the Internet. Canceling a message does not remove it from another user's computer if the user downloaded the message before it was canceled.

on a side note, sometimes you have to customize your toolbar so that the
delete or cancel button displays. Also to delete, you can probably click
the message in the message window and just hit the delete key on your
keyboard.

you silly Microsoft nounce :)

try the Delete button, thats what works for me. Have to customize your
toolbar to get it to display.

also make sure that the message you're trying to cancel is your own
otherwise it will show as greyed out.


btw Andras thanks for that tip. :) Elyk was right after all.
