Take it back

Google
has developed a feature that will allow its Gmail clients to take back an email they wish they never sent.

The Gmail labs have come up with a feature called "Undo Send," that lets you abort the sending of any Gmail message. That is if you use it within five seconds. The service is designed to stop people who make the mistake of hitting the “reply all” button when they only wanted to send the email to one person on the list.

Gmail will also look for the word attached in your document and if there is no attachment it will warn you that you have not done it. There is also a feature of Google Apps which puts orange borders around the names of e-mail recipients that are not inside your company. The idea is that you don't accidentally send corporate secrets to outsiders.

If you want a play, click on "Settings" in Gmail and then the "Labs" tab.
