Message recall
When using message recall I don't think the recipient should be alerted that
a message was attempted to be recalled. There is a reason the person is recalling the message so why would you alert the recipient that a message is being recalled? |

... When using message recall I don't think the recipient should be alerted that a message was attempted to be recalled. There is a reason the person is recalling the message so why would you alert the recipient that a message is being recalled? If you AND the recipient are not within the same Exchange organization, it is highly unlikely the recall will work. When not using Exchange, Outlook will send a special e-mail to the same recipient which attempts to remove the prior message. However, the recipient must read the recall message first so that it then exercises its remove of the prior message. If the recipients sorts their messages from oldest to newest then they will still read your first message before they later read your second (recall) message. When you used the recall action, notice that it says, "Delete UNREAD copies of message" or "Delete UNREAD copies and replace with a new message". The prior message must be UNREAD (i.e., the special recall message must be read BEFORE reading the original message). Supposedly Outlook will automatically exercise the recall e-mail without the user having to actually open it (to manually trigger the delete of the prior message) but this has always been a flaky operation, plus users often will have read their messages before the several minutes elapse before Outlook decides to then exercise any special messages it received. Even if automatically or manually exercised, the recall message may not work resulting in sending back a message notifying you of the failure. If you manually exercise the recall message by opening it then you'll see the prompt regarding the alert that it is trying to recall (i.e., delete or replace) a message. Since this is a special message to remove a prior message, it obviously only works if the recipient is also using Outlook. Can you guarantee your recipient is using Outlook? Maybe they are using Outlook EXPRESS, or Thunderbird, or some other e-mail client. What if their e-mail client doesn't support MIME content within their received messages? That means your recall won't work. What if they are stripping off attachments? The MIME type that contains the instructions to remove the message is an attachment (Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="winmail.dat"). What if their e-mail client doesn't support Microsoft's proprietary TNEF format (usually referred to as Rich-Text Format, or RTF)? The MIME part, which is an attachment, is a TNEF part (Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat"). Outlook understands TNEF but other e-mail clients probably don't. What if the recipient reads their e-mails while offline? They receive your first message, disconnect, your recall message arrives but it is off in their mail server's mailbox, and they read your first message without interference because they have not yet received your recall message; i.e., as said before, they read your first message BEFORE they read your recall message. When creating a special e-mail message used as a recall request, the e-mail looks like: ---------- Subject: Recall: originalmessage Message-ID: !~!UENERkVCMDkAAQACAF0AAAAAAAAAOKG7EAXlEBqhuwgAKy pWwgAAbXNwc3QuZGxsAAAAAABOSVRB+b+4AQCqADfZbgAAAEQ6 XFVTRVJcbGVlX2hvZHNkb25cT3V0bG9va1xPdXRsb29rLnBzdA AYAAAAAAAAAAOl4H59qehNmYEbbr16eAbCgAAAGAAAAAAAAAAD peB+fanoTZmBG269engGJHojAAAAAAAAAAAAEAAAAHRlc3QgbW ....

Message recall
Vanguard, is there a way to make it so that the recipient does not have to
manually double-click the "recall" message to have it delete the original? The help documentation suggests that this process is automated if you have the "Process requests and responses on arrival" turned ON in the recipients tracking options. "George Hester" wrote: LOL.
