Don't Sell That Cow! 
What do you do when you send an email 
that insults your boss to your boss (by mistake)? 
First, you panic. 
Then, if you're lucky and both your boss 
and you are using Outlook, you can retrieve 
and/or replace a message that you need to change, 
or wish you hadn't sent.

There are limitations. 
The addressee must be logged on, using Outlook, 
and the message must be both unread and in their Inbox. 
This tips works better in LAN situation than over the Internet.

Here's what you do:

Open your Sent Items folder and double-click 
the message to open it.
On the toolbar of the message itself, 
choose Tools>>Recall this Message.
To recall the message, click "Delete unread copies of this message."
To replace the message with a new message, 
click "Delete unread copies and replace 
with a new message." 
Click OK, and type a new message.
If you'd like to know if the recall worked, 
select the "Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for 
each ! recipient" box.

Now breathe a sigh of relief.
