    No, if it's in your sent box it's too late to get it back now!

    Get them on the phone and tell them to delete and not open it, because it's got a picture of your granny in a compromising position! :eek:
    Move along, nothing to see.

    If it is a really compromising email and you really don't want them to view it, you could write another informing them that the email(quote the subject line) contains a virus and must not be opened.
    Place the warning in the subject line of the new email....and hope. :)
