It does, provided you read the "recall" message first -- but since 
Outlook (by default) displays in reverse chronological order, and most 
people read email in the order received, it does little good.

Back when I was involved in Exchange administration, I can't tell you 
how many times I had to stop services and run exmerge against the store 
to clean out messages that somebody accidently sent to a distribution list.

That .. and all the people that got embarassed due to incorrect use of 
"reply-all" ;)
