question re. message recall

[Chris]

Could somebody clarify the capabilities of the recall function? Our office is
using a Pop3/SMTP server for our e-mail & MS Outlook 2002 as the client. If
we send a message to another company, one that uses MS Exchange Server, do we
have the capability to recall that message?

I woud assume that, in order for a recall to work, not only do both sender
and recipient have to be using an Exchange Server, but they would have to be
on the SAME Exchange Server.

Clarification, please? Thank you.

No. Recall only works between in an all-Exchange environment.

I'm not sure that's true.

Actually, ignore any mention that message recall works.

It will only work if the correct combination of chicken sacrifice (Rhode
Island Red only), incense burning (sandlewood), dancing around a campfire
with the appropriate state of undress (depends on the sex/comeliness of the
natives doing the dancing) and the sanctioned chanting in only the right
dialect are used. Miss any of the combination and you have a failure.
