If the user owns the message, then yes I would like for him to be able to
remove his own message from the queue. I imagine that this will only be in
rare cases, since sendmail can often be configured to relay to another server
which I imagine will hold the message until delivery is possible, or its
time has run out to hold the message until available delivery or bounce it.
