As long as the transaction hasn't been accepted into a block, in theory you can "recall" the transaction and modify the transaction in any way. Like I said, this is incomplete and the exact protocol to pull that off hasn't been included into Bitcoin yet. But it certainly is a possibility and may be a feature in a future version of Bitcoin.<br/><br/>Certainly the ability to "recall" a transaction hasn't been implemented yet in the UI, and once the transaction has been accepted into a block the only hope to really kill a transaction after that is to hope that the block doesn't get accepted into the main block chain. Then again, if the transaction has been accepted into a block without fees it shouldn't be a problem in terms of recalling the transaction for adding fees either as the issue is moot at that point.</div>
