I'll send him one and ask him what changes he wants to make to the first message.

Hi nickg5,
You are correct - Recall is a function whereby the sender of a message attempts to recall (remove) the message that it previously sent. This typically fails for a myriad of reasons - especially after the message leaves the senders domain.
Thanks,
jss
