Important notes:
- The "Recall This Message" feature only works if the recipient has not yet read the email.
- If the recipient has already read the email, the recall will not work.
- The recall feature only deletes the email from the recipient's inbox, not from their "Sent Items" folder.
- The recall feature does not work if the email is stored on a server or in a public folder.
