Is that normal? Well, yeah. This is one of the few true brekadowns of the semantic similarities between mail and news, where the transport actually matters. Once you send an email message, it's gone. You can't cancel it or recall it or whatever. Posting a cancellation of a mail-gatewayed news message implies, in this case, that the cancellation itself constitutes yet another to-be-gatewayed message. At best, one can complain that the newsfeeds configuration of INN on Quimby should prevent control messages from passing through the gate. Then folks who see just the mail side will still see both messages you posted, but they won't see the cancellation.
