If you are using Outlook there is a way. Got to "Sent Mail". Open the message you want to recall. Click on the Menu-Item "Action". Here you find an option "Recall sent message".. . Sometimes it really worx! It usually doesn't when you are really desperate... this is the silent partnership of Bill Gates with Mr. Murphy!
