Stop sending mail you later regret

Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that
girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that
late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together.
Gmail can't always prevent you from sending messages you might later
regret, but today we're launching a new Labs feature I wrote called
Mail Goggles which may help.

When you enable Mail Goggles, it
will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night
Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a
few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the
right state of mind?


By
default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend as that
is the time you're most likely to need it. Once enabled, you can adjust
when it's active in the General settings.


Hopefully
Mail Goggles will prevent many of you out there from sending messages
you wish you hadn't. Like that late night memo -- I mean mission
statement -- to the entire firm.
