Adding jglick to Cc: list for clarification.

The Delete button may need to be disabled, depending on what implementation is 
chosen. Should there be a delete button? If so then should it be disabled when 
the following are selected:

- News Message (or change button to say Cancel)
- Newsgroup (or change button to say Unsubscribe)
- News Server

In 4.x, the "Delete" button is replaced with a "Mark" button when a Newsgroup, 
News Server, or News posting is selected.

IMO, I don't think the "Mark" button is necessary.  Its not a common enough 
action to be on the Toolbar.

My preference would be to Remove the Delete button from the Toolbar since it 
would NEVER be enabled when a News group/server/posting has focus.  Can we do 
this?  The other buttons would need to shift to the left when this happens.

We could leave the button and rename it "Cancel" but this isn't a very common 
action either, and button would probably be disabled most of the time anyway.

Actually, I miss having the mark button on the tool bar. When I finish picking
and choosing which news to read under 4.x, I go up to mark and "Mark all as
read" This is sort of a delete-like action.
