On: A real person, a lot like you

[tel]

The scary part is that delete and send are pretty close to each other in gmail.

[abstractbill → tel]

Yes, absolutely. That's why I never fill out the To field when writing an email that I'm not sure I should send.

[dennisgorelik → abstractbill]

Without "To" field you risk to forget who you are angry at.

[hboon → dennisgorelik]

I type it into the top line of the email, cutting and pasting it to "To" right before I send. Helps prevents those "oops! sorry I sent you the previous email before compelting it because I accidentally hit the Send button."

[lurkerperpetual → hboon]

I usually append an extra character to the To: email address so it bounces in case I accidentally send it

Just make sure it's not a dot: http://www.dns-sd.org/TrailingDotsInDomainNames.html

Undo

[alexyim → tel]

How many times have you deleted an email when you wanted to send one?

[jules → alexyim]

In Gmail? Zero, because you can undelete.

[amohr → jules]

If you act fast, you can unsend too.

[hvasishth → amohr]

how?

[stanleydrew → hvasishth]

Enable "undo send" in labs and then just hit 'z' (assuming you have keyboard shortcuts enabled too).
