    This is not the end of the world, since I can read it
    in the Trash folder. But it does seem odd. Anyone know
    whether this behavior is by design?

    Betterbird 115.19.0-bb37 (64-bit), but I'll bet it's
    the same in Thunderbird.

    My apologies, that's exactly what I did.

    I realized I had the wrong group within about a minute of posting, so
    I canceled it at n.i.n, then refreshed my copy of the article
    headers. My article didn't appear. That usually means that the cancel
    was successful and n.i.n didn't propagate the article, but this time
    that obviously was not the case.
