Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, but I thought this might come in handy. It's similar to a clever tool Mr. Me developed a little while ago. I guess google was watching him. Cool

New! Gmail Custom TimeTM

Ever wish you could go back in time and send that crucial email that could have changed everything -- if only it hadn't slipped your mind? Gmail can now help you with those missed deadlines, missed birthdays and missed opportunities.

Pre-date your messages
You tell us what time you would have wanted your email sent, and we'll take care of the rest. Need an email to arrive 6 hours ago? No problem.

Mark as read or unread
Take sending emails to the past one step further. We let you make emails look like they've been read all along.

Make them count
Use your custom time stamped messages wisely -- each Gmail user gets ten per year. Sad

Worry less
Forget your finance reports. Forget your anniversary. We'll make it look like you remembered.

Only 10 per year? Hell, I could do with 10 a week to mess with people!

I was impressed that Google was using e-flux capacitor technology. It's about time. I assume it's the standard 1.21 Jigawatt layout...

^^ You're kidding, right? That is soooo yesterday. You did update your Jigawat to the all new version 2.00, didn't you?

Most likely "April Fools".

But moved here either way.

I love this bit...

How does it work?

Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox). Laughing

Is this an April Fools thing? If not it could be really useful for annoying lads who complain that it takes a week to reply and then then get an email dated a week ago, would be such a great excuse to administer slaps.
