Maybe that damn paperclip thing could come in handy here... "Hi there! It looks like you're trying to write a seething rant of hatred to your ex-girlfriend! Need some help?"

Nope, I've had emails sent to me "recalled" but all that meant was that I got a second email saying "so-and-so would like to recall the email sent 01/01/08" or some such thing, then I can click okay or not as I please but even when I click "okay" I think the physical email still stayed in my inbox.

I guess the recall is just like an "oops didn't mean to send that info to you, please disregard" button but it doesn't do much of anything.

It sees occasional use at my work, when a message goes out to everyone and the author discovers and error, so recalls it soon after sending. Only those who have read it promptly see it, and it vanishes for everyone else.

If I see a message has been recalled and I haven't read the original at that time - you bet your sweet ass I'm gonna see what was so bad in that first e-mail.

Someone usually hits send befpre they're supposed to tho :(
