Don't regret another email

If you are one of those individuals that regrets writing a drunken email to a woman you fancy or a married ex-girlfriend, Google can ensure this will never happen again.

 

A new Google Labs solution called Mail Goggles is intended to save you from yourself.

 

When Mail Goggles is enabled, it will check whether you are in the right frame of mind to send emails by testing your maths after you click send but before the email goes.

 

"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," Gmail engineer Jon Perlow said in the Gmail blog.
