NNTP - delete messages?

We have had several NNTP issues lately.
1) A user replies to a post and attaches a file to his reply. That user is
then unable to see his own post. But everyone else sees it fine.

2) In testing issue #1 I created a bunch of test messages. Is there any way
to get rid of them now?

3) One of our newsgroups has a message that cannot be downloaded. If you
try to download all messages it stops at this one message and gives the error
message "Your NNTP server has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to
wait another 60 seconds for the server to respond?" Selecting Wait results
in the same error message. Selecting Stop cancels the synchronization and
gives the message that "It is likely that the message was removed or expired
from the server. 0x800c006f". Any additional messages and newsgroups are
not downloaded. Users are having to remove this newsgroup from their list in
order to get all of their other newsgroup mesages.

4) If anyone knows where I can find some good information on NNTP it would
be appreciated.
