This new feature is wicked. I just love it. I sent an email back to myself to warn myself of an impending exam that required a calculator.

P.S. It is a great addition to their new grandiose project, Virgle.

Basically you can send emails back in time.

That is hilarious, that they limit this to ten a year. If you forget to send someone an email, like and invite, you could just wait until after the event, send them a "read" email around the time the invites went out and if this person goes back to look, it will be there as if they read it.
Interesting.

Yeah, Google always does something for April Fools Day.
I remember a couple years ago they claimed they were introducing a new soft drink that you could only get by sending in a cap someone else gives you. If nobody gives you a cap "It must mean you're not important enough" or some such. It was a self-referential jab at how Gmail was invite-only at that time.
