Description
At least for OE and Vista Mail, the reader does not enable the Cancel function even for one's own posts. Either it is not recognizing posts as one's own, or else Jive is not allowing cancels at all.

Update: seems to only be if SSL is set. Pieter Zijlstra reported he was able to cancel normally with OE but he does not have SSL set.

Need someone to test with other readers such as TB, etc, that attempt to follow cancellation privileges.
Steps to Reproduce:
Access the groups with SSL on.

Post a message. Display your message  and attempt to cancel  it from the menu. The Cancel item is disabled.

I can delete my own post using OE and XanaNews.

There is only one "but"... see #65733

I did some more test and can also cancel my own messages with SSL switched on.
Could it be that your local display name/identity does not match with the actual user name (not login name) of your CDN account?
