aioe.org doesn't allow users to send ancel messages so you *cant't* 
cancel your posts.
Since aioe.org lacks of authentication, there's no way to detect whether 
a message was sent by the one who try to cancel it and this is a serious 
problem because there're people who try to delete posts sent by other 
ones as a way to attack the server.
At the same time, a lot of servers don't honor cancel messages no more 
and this makes useless cancel messages because 'cancelled' articles are 
*not* deleted by remote servers and this is considered by *my* users as 
a fraud because they cancel their articles, articles disappear on local 
server but they are shown by all other sites.
