This just got released today -- GMail Custom Time. Now you can send pre-dated e-mail to other folks through GMail. The mail will appear in their mailbox with the earlier date/timestamp, optionally flagged already read. Result? When Grandma bugs you about having missed her birthday, you can say, "I sent you an e-mail about it -- didn't you see? Go back and look!"
As with all GMail features, it's a Beta, and you can use it up to ten times per year. It's not clear how long this feature will be offered (perhaps only for today), so check it out!

Are you sure this isn't just an April Fool's Day thing?
Yes, I am very sure it is just an April Fool's kind of thing. :-)
(Hence the "Jokes" category, if nothing else.)
What's weird is that it's still showing up on my Gmail home page!

Huh. It's gone from mine. Have you rebooted/refreshed since then?
