Ironruby core - Mar 2009 - lol.. google undo send definitely is a fad

It took me more than the 2 seconds I get from google to realize that I sent
the previous email to the wrong address.

As was pointed out by some people around here, Outlook has had a similar feature
for a while, that gives more customization. It just requires you to make a rule
;)

And requires the receiver to accept the retraction if it''s already been
delivered, if I remember right...which of course I never did.

No, the retraction is a different (and thoroughly retarded) feature.  You can
actually create a send rule that applies a delay based on all sorts of criteria.
See http://ironcurt.typepad.com/p/sendrule.png for a screen shot of the rule.

The "retraction" isn''t a totally ridiculous feature, but I
always smirk when I see a "Manager X has recalled an email" message...

Jim, are you really pimping Outlook? ;)

I believe Jim was referring to making a Outlook rule which delays the sending of
an email by a minute or so, which then you can delete from our outbox during
that window and it will never be delivered; similar to what gmail can do for
you. The "retraction" system is far more inferior.

Ok, enough Outlook banter ...

To be sure. One time the manager of a team I was on tried to retract a 
spreadsheet containing everyone''s salaries. I think a couple people
quit
that same day.
