Wtf. Gmail Allows You To Set Your Own Email Timestamp?
http://mail.google.com/mail/help/customtime/index.html

It seems a little controversial, but I'm glad they added this. I personally think this will be really useful.

It's almost surprising. I didn't think Google would ever add something like this. Happy April Fools =)

Re: Wtf. Gmail Allows You To Set Your Own Email Timestamp?
what's going on? Site looks pretty leigt. Unless...Sane is a pofessional HTML programmer (still don't get what's going on; need some insite)?

Edit:
So Google, itself, is doing an April Fools joke...yes...
God, I have seen so much of them today on a lot of sites...

Second Edit:
And the "testimonials" are probably Google employees who think we're idiots!

I knew it was an April Fools Joke because before I clicked on the link to the thread, the indicator showed all the text, including "April Fools", but what I was initially confused about was if you created the page or if Google did it...it's look really good.
