If you resent the message because you didn't delete the replies folder I
suspect that your message will only appear once in usenet and there is no
need to cancel. The message-ID line on both messages will be identical
and any nntp server that receives your message the second time will reject
the duplicate post automatically. It would only be a problem if you sent
two similiar messages that had different message IDs. [ I believe a
common trick if you want your message to spread through usenet quickly is
to post the same message to a few open nntpservers throughout the world.]
