Hi Craig

A bit like when I was a telephone support analyst a long time ago and I got
a call from someone who said their screen had gone blank and now there were
numbers counting in the top left-hand corner.

I replied that it sounded as though there had been some kind of power
failure and it was doing its normal checks like when she turned it on in the
morning.

She then said "If I took the plug out - and put it back really quickly -
would that do it?".

I did resist the temptation to say - you weren't quick enough :)

-Melanie

Dave,

You might be right about the distribution lists thing, but our sysadmin guy
recalled the email at the server (MS Exchange server). Apparently if you
email someone and they don't open the email, you can actually do a recall in
Exchange. Apparently poor Melanie wasn't quick enough...

Craig
I've also done that but only by quickly hitting the CTRL-Break keys (we're
using Lotus Notes). This is a cancel function not a recall and as you imply
only works if you're sending to a large distribution list and there's a
convenient time-lag between the "Oh bugger!" and the cancel option dave
