In my research of this "feature" a while back I found that basically the
only supported use of this was in an Outlook client to Outlook client. And,
of course, only if it had not already been opened by the recipient. I am
surprised at the number of employees that call our help desk and ask about
this.

Good. I also believe it's not specified in any RFC. Outlook
provides such a feature. The effect is that when I read mail
with a non-Outlook MUA, I occasionally receive messages with
the body:
<sender> would like to recall the message ...
I believe I've even seen some such distributed via these lists.
Usually I reply (to individual sender only) with:
<recipient> would like to forget the message ...
I suspect such a feature could be abused in the fashion of
Usenet forged cancel messages.
