Yeah BUT!  A message can only be "recalled" if it has NOT been read.
If the message goes to a 'list' of people, the ones that have NOT read
the message will not see it.  Those that HAVE read it, get to keep the
original message.

So it really doesn't do what one would think it does.

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.
