send wrong email

[Penguin]

hi,
i have a question.. if i accidentally send an email with a wrong attachment file.. how can i retrieve it back.. as in cancel the email.. pls help..

You can't, if the email is already sent. You can just send another mail with the correct attachment, such a big problem if that person reads/opens that wrong attachment?

if it is a problem i suggest you contact them and warn them....then just send a new one..

i find it no point, because if u send some sensitive data file over.. u canot control ppl cannot see the file right.

Hi Penguin, have you thought about putting a disclaimer on your out going e-mail. It does not stop the person from reading the e-mail but it may help resolve some legal issues with misdirected e-mails (although I don't know if it's ever been tested in the courts).

This is an example of our disclaimer:

Just an Idea.
