<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus, system and method for canceling an already transmitted e-mail message. <P>SOLUTION: After an e-mail message is prepared by a sender, the message can be stored in a computing system at the time of its transmission to recipients. Generally, the e-mail message contains a list of destination recipients. Then, a notification message, instead of an actual e-mail message, is generated and transmitted to the recipients (and to the sender). The notification message allows the recipients to automatically access the stored e-mail message. When the sender desires to cancel the message, the user can access the message and modify the list of recipients to exclude any number of recipients, as well as modify the text of the e-mail message. Any recipient whose e-mail address has been excluded will no longer be allowed to access the e-mail message. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
