FWIW, this (quietly add a small delay to send, and an undo button) seems to be a common feature in big webmail/MS email systems these days.

> "Fred Smith would like to recall the message" My usual reaction when I get one of these is along the lines of: "oh, yes, I do recall seing that one, thanks for drawing my attention to it again". And I can then go and think about why it was important that I shouldn't have been reading it. Otherwise it might have merged into the background noise. -- George D M Ross MSc PhD CEng MBCS CITP University of Edinburgh, School of Informatics, Appleton Tower, 11 Crichton Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9LE Mail: g...@inf.ed.ac.uk Voice: 0131 650 5147 PGP: 1024D/AD758CC5 B91E D430 1E0D 5883 EF6A 426C B676 5C2B AD75 8CC5 The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

It implies you can "Undo Send" anything. you seem to be implying that a new-economy technical company with a great looking web site and venture backing might be making specious claims. that just cannot be. by simple elimination, i deduce that they have invented either time travel, or less likely but possible, a portable secure cooperative universal inbox editor. either way, we can be sure they're not _lying_. -- Paul -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

I had not heard of it, so I took a look at it. The web site sure does look great, and features rocket engines, sparklers, and attractive people playing tennis. Which ... I guess is related to email? Maybe if I spend less time emailing I'll have more time to play tennis and I'll be more attractive. And a few of the features they claim to support seem ... impossible?
