Gmail can foil embarrassing drunken emails

Well, they don't put it quite that way on the Official Gmail Blog, but that's what they mean: Stop sending mail you later regret.

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.


You can even adjust the difficulty of the problems, in case intoxicants bring out the latent Einstein in you.

Teetotalers and those of us who can't do math on our best days can ignore the feature.

Saturday morning we plan to upgrade the active projo blogs to a new version of the Movable Type software. All blogs will remain available during this process. Afterwards you’ll see a new look and some new features, and we’ll welcome your comments about them.
