Once sent, an email message cannot be "unsent" when you sober up. A new Gmail feature from Google may prevent that from happening again.    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.

I think you can adjust it in the properties and configuration. On the other hand you need to be really really bad at math because the math problems are very simple.

ROFLMAO Light Assassin Posted at 9:27 pm on Oct. 7, 2008 hahah google, always looking out for the drunk folk. TechnoShark Posted at 9:27 pm on Oct. 7, 2008 What if you're bad at math? TheAntiBarbie Posted at 9:26 pm on Oct. 7, 2008 I don't use it, but I think it's a spectacular idea. Even if you're not drunk sometimes you hit send and then you're instantly like, "Fuck, what have I done?" That would give some extra time to reconsider. greatescape Posted at 9:26 pm on Oct. 7, 2008 I seriously need this on my phone. Most recent 15 of 20 previous replies displayed.
