Its "Undo Send" feature, just added to Gmail, actually holds your outgoing e-mails for 5 seconds, giving you enough time to say "Ulp!" and cancel delivery.
To turn it on, sign in to your Gmail account, click "Settings," click on the "Labs" header and scroll almost all the way down the page to "Undo Send."

If one hasn't already read the message and checked for proper recipients before hitting the "Send" button, I doubt that five seconds will be enough to prevent future embarrassments!
Oops! 
Perhaps a better method would be to send the message to oneself first and see what someone else will really see. That could be scary, of course!

Oops! That's what I thought ... now a 5 minute time frame might work for some folks. Of course, in 5 minutes they might get even more upset and add more hot chili pepper words.
