hi tig, re "Does anyone have a link that allows one to retrieve sent e-mail?" i saw this today in september issue of smart computing magazine, and thought of your question to this thread from four months ago. <g3> this is just what you're looking for (if you're still looking for it!).... E-mail For Hotheads "E-mail’s immediacy is one of the things that has made it such a popular form of communication in the Information Age. Clicking a Send button sends most messages hurtling across the globe to arrive at their destinations within seconds or minutes. This same immediacy, however, can be a double-edged sword for impulsive users. If you’ve ever hastily composed an angry e-mail in response to an e-mail, memo, or phone call and fired it off only to regret your e-actions later, you know what we’re talking about. An e-mail product called 1on1 from 1on1mail.com is the perfect solution for this and other e-mail related problems such as failed deliveries and unauthorized access. The software comes in a variety of versions tailored to serve different kinds of users, but each version includes 1on1mail’s crowning achievement: an “Ooops” button. Highlighting a message in your Sent folder and clicking Ooops erases the message from the recipient’s inbox, so if you’re quick enough to delete the message before the recipient reads it, you can put the e-mail genie back in the bottle. Another company, Disappearing Inc., offers an e-mail policy management system that lets users send e-mail that “vanishes” from the recipient’s inbox after a designated time. It sends encrypted messages with encryption keys (algorithms that decipher encryption codes) that expire after a predetermined interval, leaving the messages unreadable. Novell’s GroupWise 5.5 network messaging system also lets users retrieve sent e-mail, although the feature only works on e-mail sent to other users within a GroupWise-equipped network. Companies that compete with 1on1mail.com and Disappearing Inc. are quick to dismiss self-destructing e-mail as a gimmick. Others question the wisdom of granting users the ability to cover their electronic tracks in a world where e-mail has become such an important form of daily communication. But the images of Microsoft founder Bill Gates being grilled over e-mail transcripts subpoenaed by the Department of Justice may prove to be the best sales pitch for these products and similar offerings that are sure to come." 1on1mail.com hope this helps :) mark
