Introducing Gmail Custom Time - Be On Time Everytime

How do I Use it?

Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.

Is there a limit to how far back I can send email?

Yes. You'll only be able to send email back until April 1, 2004, the day we launched Gmail. If we were to let you send an email from Gmail before Gmail existed, well, that would be like hanging out with your parents before you were born -- crazy talk.

How does it work?

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

Hehe I saw this on digg, along with a bunch more from google, funny stuff! I am glad such a big company has a sense of humor

I agree.

Glad these guys can take a break from their work to make me laugh.

I would love to see it live. My grandma almost killed me 10 years ago when I forget about her birthday.
