Isn't this best implemented at the MUA level? At the very least, a user
can simply save drafts of all composed email, then review & send
messages periodically. Not only does this address the problem, it is
more convenient for everyone, including the user, who can edit the
message in place before finally sending.
It will never fail that the user will decide right after clicking the
send button that they want to recall it, no matter how long they wait
prior to sending...
I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain to one of our users
why we cannot recall their message - whcih usually ends up with me
describing how this exchange capability works, and why it only works
under certain limited circumstances, which does NOT include any
destinations that are NOT exchange servers configured to cooperate with
these requests.
I only said it was an interesting idea, and wondered if it could be
automated... I'm still not sure it *should* be done... :)
Yes, this could be automated as you described.
I think the implementation will be a real pain, and you'll
answer as many or more questions once it's implemented.
So no, it shouldn't be done.
Lots of interesting ideas don't really work, that doesn't mean
you should stop trying.
