Comment on Undo Send in Gmail

Comments

is it me or is their approach stupid as hell?

wouldn't it make more sense simply not to process sending the email for a specific user-specified time?

i.e. automatically you don't send email for 10 seconds, but a user can go to preferences and setup the undo feature for 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min etc.

I mean 5 seconds is pretty much useless...its more or less the "oh shit, I forgot an attachment", but there is really no difference for user between 5 seconds or 5 minutes, and I'm fairly sure most people, given the choice, would select the 5 minute delay.
