Recall a mail possible in mailx?

Hi,

Is it possible to recall a mailx mail in HP-UX?

Thanks in advance

If by "recall" you mean stop an outgoing email then not in mailx, but if you have rw access to the /var/spool/mqueue (or similar directory) and are quick, you might be able to delete the spooled email before it is sent.

If by "recall" you mean undelete then the 'pre' command in mailx will put it back in the mail as unread.
