It should probably talk a bit what it means that a message is "seen by the recipient". For example: 1. IMAP client is IDLEing and downloads the message headers immediately. Can it be recalled? (yes?) 2. IMAP client downloads one (or more) MIME parts of the message and sets \Seen flag. Can it be recalled? (no?) 3. IMAP client downloads one (or more) MIME part of the message but doesn't change flags. Can it be recalled? (no?) 4. IMAP client downloads message headers and sets \Seen flag. Can it be recalled? (yes?) 5. POP3 client downloads the message but doesn't delete it. Can it be recalled? (no?) Also there's a security/privacy issue that's not mentioned: I don't want anyone to know when I've read an email they sent. This could be used by whatever spies to find out when exactly I'm reading my email by looping: send message, recall message, send the message again, recall again, etc. > 2.
