btw. I read somewhere that this forum software can't delete

It's not true, despite what Mike said earlier.
I didn't say it's impossible to delete messages from the NNTP
server. What I said was, "it wouldn't be something that could be
synced across the other interfaces", and that absolutely is true.
If you download a newsgroup message from the server before it's
deleted, you've still got that message locally. The same holds
for those using the mailing list interface.
