Correcting an email message that already has been sent?

Question

If you omitted something or forgot to mention some important details when replying to an Employers inquiry regarding your application to a job opportunity, what is the correct way of resolving this? Also, this is the initial correspondence. Would an additional email suffice without giving the employer a bad impression?

Thanks

if you use microsoft outlook, and if you know for a fact that the other party uses outlook as well, then you can always recall the message and resend it with a corrected one.  however, if that is not the case, i would suggest sending a second email to provide the necessary information.  i would think it is more important to be correct than to fear giving a bad impression.  if one of my job candidate sent a supplemental email, i really wouldn't think anything of it.
