This is a pain in the neck to do. The directions are on the L-Soft  
documentation web site in the FAQ.
In this kind of situation, I decline the request unless it comes from  
my manager (which has never happened).
The only times I have done that is to remove virused postings that  
escaped the F-Secure a/v software and
one or two other situations where one or two professors accidentally  
posted students' grades to a list.

I do sometimes receive similar requests. In response, I point out  
that the email has already been distributed
to the people who matter the most in the particular situation AND the  
time for an author to edit his or her
posts is before sending, not after.
