If I recall correctly, back in the early 1990s, when newsgroups were very active and the software had the ability to do so, one could actually delete a message and it would even get deleted from the recipient's computer PROVIDED that s/he had not saved it (as a backup for example).
I think there is a Cancel/Rescind Message option in NNTP, but I don't believe very many news-servers support(ed) it.
the nntp server acting with the gateway to the openSUSE web forums supports it, still...that is, using TBird if i press "Delete", it will.. well, it will delete the post on the nntp server...but, if in the interim the gateway had swept the post to the http side it would remain there, even after the original was purged from the nntp server.. folks who might join the thread via nntp would not see the post, but the web crowd would. -- DD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
