Mail Goggles

I was reading on the "Official Google Blog" today that Gmail is 5 years old. Time sure flies. Over the years they have built in a lot of nice features. But none take the cake like this one does.

New in Labs: Stop sending mail you later regret

Basically, if you are the type who likes to have a few drinks and then send out late night emails to ex-girlfriends, etc... this is a feature you will want to enable right away. Here is how it works. When you hit the "send" button, before Gmail will actually send your email, you will be required to solve a few math problems. If you can't pass the test, it won't send your email. Funny stuff!

By default it is not enabled. But you can turn it on by going to your settings, click on Labs, and then scroll down to Mail Goggles!

For the record, I do not have this enabled. :-)
