Quite awhile ago, while browsing their Labs, I found an "Undo" addition that basically just delays the sending of a message for a defined increment of time (up to 30 seconds). I enabled it and didn't think much of it. Here I am, perhaps a year later, and I'm unsure how anyone emails without this little guy.

If you've ever sent an email and immediately though, "oh fuck, I should have reread that" as your creation shot off into cyberspace, take my advice and enable "Undo Send." Just click on the little gear icon in the top right corner of GMail, go to Labs, search for "Undo Send" and enable. From there, you can change the duration in your settings. I suggest the longest available.

Implemented.
