	I use the following, both at home and at work, and I can
cancel or supercede my posted messages from either location.

(defadvice message-user-mail-address (before generate-user-mail-address activate compile)
  "Change the value of the user mail address based on the group."
  (setq user-mail-address 
	(cond
	 ((message-news-p) (concat 
			    "stend+"
			    (gnus-short-group-name gnus-newsgroup-name)
			    "@grendel.texas.net"))
	 (t "sten.drescher@tivoli.com"))))

SB> Would it be different/simpler than my current solution?
