Some NSPs facilitate a cancel-lock and cancel-key system. If your NSP does, then it will accept a cancel for your own msg on your own server ONLY. Basically no one accepts 'ordinary' propagated cancel msg/s because of the potential for abuse. A sort of 'bottom line' is that for the most part, cancel does not work. I don't know what Tb did w/ such a function. Gmail's webmail function 'pauses' the sending of email a very few seconds so that it is possible to halt the Send function if one is quick enough. -- Mike Easter
