How do I recall an email message which has already been sent? On XP there
used to be a 'Recall This Message' button, but it seems to have disappeared
from Vista.
Thanks
 
The "Recall this message" button still exists, it is part of Microsoft
Office Outlook; this button does NOT exist in ANY other email application
and never has. If you want it back, install Office Outlook on your Vista
computer. Note that it has only ever worked if Outlook is used by both the
sender and the recipient, plus it breaks if the recipient opens the email
before the recall notice gets there.

Must have been using an Oz version of Windows
 
Thanks Greg, think maybe you're right, will double check who I'm sending
stuff to in future!
