WCW - Friend Don't Let Friends E-Mail Drunk

Google's Gmail Labs has a new experimental featured dubbed 'Mail Goggles' which will attempt to prevent you from sending out those ill-advised late night e-mails. The new feature tries to make sure you are in the right state of mind before sending messages — particularly helpful when you have maybe had a few too many drinks, and are about to send an email that would obviously be embarrassing if you had done it sober. It does this by asking you to solve mathematical problem before you are allowed to send messages during hours that you are likely to be “not quite right” (which in some cases would quickly get very annoying I’m sure).

You can enable the feature by clicking on the beaker at the top of your Gmail — then enable the “Mail Goggles”. Once enabled, you can change the times it will intervene in your general settings.

President Harry Truman often tore up letters after he had written them. Unfortunately, e-mail does not give us time to re-think our words.
