I have the same question, but obviously the technology depends on holding the message on the Apple Server before sending it along to the recipient. My guess is: Apple feels 10 seconds is the maximum delay senders will tolerate, and it does provide a window, albeit a narrow window, of time to cancel or edit the text. [/quote] "How about "Are you sure you want to send this?" Then we can rethink it or give us a choice of how long we want to think about it. Oh well.
