+This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is
+used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for cancelling and
+superseding). Gnus generates a random password string the first time
+you post a message, and saves it in your ~/.emacs using the Custom
+system. While the variable is called `canlock-password', it is not
+security sensitive data. Publishing your canlock string on the web
+will not allow anyone to be able to anything she could not already do.
