Cancels won't work.  I don't know what's special about these message-id's, but
cancels won't work.  Other news admins understand the significance of this fact
to net.terrorists, I won't explain.

Anyway, here's "/usr/lib/news/nuke.usoft".  Run it as news (or root if you are
a total fool) on Every News System In The Entire Universe.  Run it without the
"sh -x" line (watch out for the "|" on the line above) to see what'll happen.

	#! /bin/sh
	cd /usr/lib/news
	awk '/@microsoft/ { print "rm /usr/spool/news/" $NF }' < history |
		sed -e 's;\.;/;g' |
		sh -x
	exit
