Being that many gmail users are bloggers or blog rollers, I would have
assumed that the gmail developers would have picked up on the "Preview"
button on just about every blog software and made it part of gmail.
Everytime I compose an e-mail in gmail I reach for the "Preview" button
only to find that it is not there. Who else is with me?

I can anticipate a rebuttal...what do you need to preview for, it is
just text? Studies have shown that users do not pick up on mistakes in
a text area as well as they do when the message is shown read-only. It
is a way to put yourself in the reader's shoes, outside of the editing
mode, and READ the message to make sure that it doesn't make you sound
like a fool (or does make you sound like a fool, if that happens to be
the intention of the e-mail).

So, without furthur discussion, Gmail Preview Button Please!!

p.s. Oh look! There is a "Preview" button on Google Groups and I just
used it. Does my message make more sense?
