Does the recipient receive my other emails attached to the main first email I sent, but recalled?

I sent one email, but recalled it. I responded to the recall attempted email after with two responses. Will the recipient still get my other emails attached to the first recalled email? Thanks.

    Message recall only tries to delete the original message from recipient mailboxes. If recall succeeds, the original email is removed for recipients who had not opened it yet.

    The later replies are separate messages. Recalling the first email does not recall those later responses. If those replies were sent normally, they can still be delivered.

    A replacement message is different: if the replace option is used, Outlook deletes the original message and then sends the new message as a normal delivery.

    The recall result is confirmed through the Message Recall Report, which shows whether the recall succeeded, is pending, or failed.

    Hello

    Yes. Recalling an email only attempts to remove the original message from the recipient's mailbox. Any emails you sent afterward (including your two replies) are considered separate messages and are not automatically recalled. If those replies were sent successfully, the recipient can still receive and read them, regardless of whether the recall of the first email succeeds or fails.
