Yes, but you need to read and understand the code in message to do so,
and you need google to track down the users first message to get the
necessary information (from the data and message-id headers). That is
a lot more work than faking a cancel of an unlocked message.
If someone later wants to contribute a better password generator, it
can be installed with no problem.
