This is a feature of the underlying Exchange protocol.  SMTP has no such
feature.

 But wouldn't that be another nice feature for mutt?

Maybe, but once a message enters an SMTP stream, it tends to get
delivered permanently.  :)

  here's some good news: Outlook allows you to recall an email message
  that you sent to another Outlook user! This feature works only if the
  message you're trying to recall hasn't yet been opened by the
  receiver. You can choose to simply delete unread copies of the
  message, or you can replace unread copies of the message with a
  brand new message. You can also request to be notified whether the
  message recall was successful. Once you've selected the options you
  want, click OK, and Outlook attempts to recall the message you selected. 
 
 Hmm, I wonder how one can abuse this? But wouldn't that be another
 nice feature for mutt?

I believe this is only for within an intranet type network.  I don't
think it works for the Internet.

  Ralf, you should lock your screen while away from the computer.
  I can't believe you actually typed this :)

Ok, the eclipse burned my brain, but this is actually the stupidest
idea M$ EVER had, and so I thought I'd share my thoughts...

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

Hmm, but couldn't mutt support this feature?

And now, for your amusement, i can inform you that it already does :-)

How? Easy, simply send a new mail like this:

| From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| Subject: FOLDER INTERNAL DATA, IGNORE
| Supersedes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
| Expires: Wed, 10 Aug 1999 14:00:43 +0100 (CEST)
| 
| This is an folder internal cancel message, please ignore me :-)

And have the recipient have the following line in his .muttrc:

push D~S|~E\n

(not tested :-)

CU,
Sec
