Right now recall message option's success rate is dependent on the
recepient's settings. Many users actually do not even configure their options
and passively take on whatever comes with the computer. Sometimes, a message
needs to be recalled and deleted for urgent reasons but it fails because the
recepient settings are not set to execute automatic deletion. (please see the
explanation on message recall process on the MS website, the link is
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010917601033.aspx).
This should be changed to sender driven action regardless of the recepient
settings.
Just one example: The recepient might not have set his settings to "process
requests upon arrival." Many do not. Message recall is linked to this
setting. I do not know why. A great improvement will be as follows:
1. If the recepient has not yet read the message, delete the message when
sender issues "command" to recall message and delete all unread versions.
2. It should be a command and not a request.
3. Do inform the recepient (if he has set the settings to do so) that there
was a message from XYZ which was deleted.
This way, message recall will be truly message recall and we do not have to
worry if the recepient has set outlook to certain preferences. Moreover, it
will not matter whether the recepient lists his messages by the "earliest
received" or "latest received" (this is another problem- please see the
messsage recall process description int he website,
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010917601033.aspx).
Many sensitive messages sometimes are sent out by accident only to be
recalled. Sometimes, someone might overlook recepient list before hitting the
enter button, and later wish that some in the list should not be included.
Right now, such corrections are a luxury because of this "request" status.
