I haven't been on AOL since like 1994, but the only thing I remember fondly about it is the "unsend" feature. If you shot off an email you changed your mind about, you could take it back, in essence, if the person hadn't read it yet. I am thinking that could be really handy here. "unsend" Is it possible?

I imagine it would have to do with someone being able to rummage around in your inbox before you do which borders on privacy issues :-) I'm not sure I'd like that. And I want all of a person I'm friends (or not) with anyway, don't want them "perfect."

Do you know you can send yourself e-mails? Send "questionable" or angry/whatever e-mails to yourself first and then if you still feel that way in 10 minutes, copy and send them to the other person?

Yes, I bought my first computer in 1982, so I know basic computer stuff. "unsend"

I'm just sorry I brought up something I should have let lie, but the reasons I feel that way are vast and varied and completely my problem.

Not at all, it's a valid/good idea and something you want! Hey, if someone like AOL has/had it, it can't be "wrong" :-) I'm sure lots of people would like a feature like that and it certainly wouldn't hurt anything, people who didn't like it wouldn't have to use it! I don't use spellcheck anywhere because I don't like it. Sorry if I made you doubt yourself "unsend" I was just thinking out loud how such a feature would work.

This is probably something that could be implemented, but got a few other things to do before this.....
