Catch it in time?

Microsoft Outlook already has that ability. In addition, there are paid
services that you can use to send your mail that offer the ability to
cancel a previously sent e-mail, providing it has not been received at
the recipients computer.

In actuality, the best scenario would be to think before hitting the
send button.
