How consistently does recall and/or replace work in
Outlook 2002? Thanks. PMS.

It requires Exchange, and a very specific set of circumstances in order to
work. I have rarely seen it work reliably. Usually the recipient just gets
another message stating that the sender wishes to recall message X - which I
think makes the sender look foolish and makes the recipient examine message
X more closely. I usually tell people to avoid message recall, but to be
very very careful before hitting send.....

Depends on your environment. Same exchange organization, it works if: the
recipient has not opened the item, says okay. Otherwise, it is wiser to
consider your email carefully before sending.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After furious head scratching, PMS asked:

Because the failure rate is so low, add a note to the recall explaining why
you are recalling so the person doesn't have to wonder...
