It would be really nice if Apple could add a variable delay to the sending of a message to facilitate the inclusion of an unsend button like Gmail has. Unsend was one of the only nice advantages of AOL back in the day, and while I know we can't have AOL style unsend it would be nice to have the Gmail style delay.

I recently sent out a message to 14 recipients that I should have BCCed and failed to do so. It wasn't that big of a deal - no one complained, and I didn't realize my mistake until a few minutes after I sent the message so this feature would not have helped me. But under some circumstances delaying the sending of a message by some short period of time to allow for unsending it would be a good thing, IMO.

Or instead of a delay, maybe a checklist...

Do you want to use spell check?
Do you want to include other recipients?
Do you want to use Bcc?
Did you fill in the subject line?
Did you attach files you want to send?
Did you finish writing your mes
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Yonkers can have better TV reception.
