Description
3.2.12.  Supersedes

   The Supersedes header field contains a message identifier specifying
   an article to be superseded upon the arrival of this one.  An article
   containing a Supersedes header field is equivalent to a "cancel"
   [I-D.ietf-usefor-usepro] control message for the specified article,
   followed immediately by the new article without the Supersedes header
   field.

   supersedes      =  "Supersedes:" SP *WSP msg-id *WSP CRLF

      NOTE: There is no "c" in Supersedes.

      NOTE: The Supersedes header field defined here has no connection
      with the Supersedes header field that sometimes appears in Email
      messages converted from X.400 according to [RFC2156]; in
      particular, the syntax here permits only one <msg-id> in contrast
      to the multiple <msg-id>s in that Email version.
Steps to Reproduce:
post a message
post another message with a supersedes header that contains the message-id of the orioginal message.
Note that the original message is not canceled.
Workarounds
Manually cancel the original message
