If you're using Microsoft Outlook (Not outlook express), then you can send a message recall. Not sure about other programs.

The message still needs to be downloaded from the server though, the recall function just sends another message telling the reader's email program to delete the email. It doesn't always work either.

In general terms though, ordinarily the answer is no.

I am the master of drunken SMS, truly Shane Warne has got nothing on me when it comes to making one's self look like a weirdo with the ol' GSM network.

How I'd love a tool that could allow one to unsend an sms.

So I feel for you.
