 | | The poster of an article (or, more specifically, any entity mentioned in the From header or the Sender header, whether or not that entity was the actual poster) is ALWAYS entitled to issue a cancel message for that article, and serving agents SHOULD honour such requests. |
 | | - -When an article (the "target article") is to be cancelled, -there are four cases of interest: the article hasn't arrived -yet, it has arrived and been filed and is available for -reading, it has expired and been archived on some less- -accessible storage medium, or it has expired and been -deleted. |
 | | Failing that, it MUST make the target article -unreadable (preferably to everyone, minimally to everyone -but the administrator) and either arrange for it to be -deleted as soon as possible or notify an administrator at -once. |
