Some clients offer it (although funnily enough it isn't labelled like
that). That's why you see "Jane Bloggs wishes to recall the message
'Something Really Personal'" messages shortly afterwards. Unfortunately,
users are usually not adequately trained, so they don't realise that the
function does not work outwith their own mail system, and just serves to
compound the problem ("what was so interesting in that mail that they now
don't want me to see?").
Which is why I am writing this response, to point that fact out :).
It's a good point about removing things from the public archive though --
although some might argue it is tampering with history!
