Can't Believe I Just Sent That

Last week, Google announced what one of its managers referred to as a "Gmail embarrassment reduction pack." The Web app will now give you a window of five seconds to cancel a sent e-mail. The "undo send" feature joins the little-used but funny "mail goggles," which require you to answer math questions before sending late-night mail on the weekends, and the very useful "forgotten attachment detector."

Now, if they could add a sobriety checker...:D

There actually was some talk about a 'sobriety checker' of some sort. Ill see if I can find it.

It may be hard as it was a year or two ago.

A cant imagine the number of times i have mistakenly sent a gmail message ... heres how.

i will be typing up a fairly formal letter of reply to a business contact and i will space down and hit the tab key.

this of course highlights the "send" button instead of indenting for a new paragraph as i intend to do.

i begin pecking away and as soon as i hit the "space bar" or "enter" keys - BAM - message sent

and there i sit cursing to the heavens
