If you have Rick Adams' uucp installed and the mail is going out over
uucp, there is a way of deleting mail. A utility named uuq works very
well. However I agree with Henry; a user has just got to be more
careful while posting mail. There is always some point from which
there is no way to retract a message and if a user thinks twice before
hitting ^D it will be good for all.
