Forgot that attachment?  Forgot to cc someone on your e-mail?  For those of you using Gmail /  courtinnovation.org , there's a way to set-up Gmail to allow you to unsend an email that you accidentally clicked the Send button on a bit too fast.  Once you enable "Undo Send", you'll have up to 30 seconds to unsend an e-mail, make your corrections, and then send it out again.
