email

Gmail just released a new feature that allows you to "unsend" an email. Granted, you need to make the decision within 5 seconds of sending it; but it's a start.

You should be allowed to retract an email from anyone at any time as long as the person hasn't opened it. Microsoft outlook has a feature similar but i'm pretty sure it leaves the email in the recipients inbox and just tells them that you wanted to remove it. This isn't much help. Who could resist opening an email, especially if it tells you not to open it!

This would solve a lot of problems. I'm usually way to quick on the send button and i have even been known to accidentally hit send keyboard shortcut in the middle of an email.
