        • Allow users who have a microphone or to record voice messages to send to the future

          I dont know about you guys, but i think it would be kinda cool to be able to not only send emails to the future, but also be able to send voice messages as well.

          • Allow us to 'LOCK' our messages

            So I don't get tempted to read the messages, I want to be able to LOCK THEM. I only want to read them on the day I have set them to be sent. Knowing myself, i will try and have a peak, and spoil the suprise!

            • Have a 2nd address in case the first is returned by server.

              I've had the same yahoo address for years, but things change in time. It would be nice to have a second address for the system to try if the first is returned undeliverable by server.

              • have a random button, but you can choose the year but the day and month are random.

                • futureme.org via snail mail!

                  You could send yourself or your friends a future letter, to be delivered via snail mail, on the date of your choosing. Much more romantic, don't you think?

                  • Allow us to see unsent messages in our accounts

                    Allow us access to unsent messages before they are sent so that the option to delete them is more applicable because we will actually know what was written in the letter.

                    Also sometimes it's nice to look at it before it is sent to remember what we wrote, for example: If you wrote a letter to yourself 30 years from now you can look at it at anytime before and after it is sent.

                      I used to just save everything on my bookmarks page and then I gave up.

                      • comment on public letters

                        For the letters that are public maybe futureme could put in a comment area so people can comment on the letters. Then when the letter is sent the comments get attached as well and the person recieving can see people's reactions to his/her letter

                        • Allow users to edit their messages.

                          Say you just wrote a private email to yourself. Then you decide that you want to make it public, but you want to go back and take out some personal information first. Or maybe you just want to make some small changes without having to send yourself a new email. This could be considered cheating, but maybe you could only have the edit option available for 24 hours after creating the email or something.

                          • Let us specify time of day.

                            If we could specify time of day and time zone, we could send email to Friday afternoon and say "Have a good weekend! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"

                              it would be cool if I could login with my facebook account, and then not have to do any captchas or email verification...then FutureMe could just deliver letters to my facebook account inbox

                                  What I mean is there should be an option to send many email addresses at a time so I could send one future letter to many people without having to do much work.

                                    I think this is a great idea, Maybe the function to send emails to loved ones, long after you passed on.

                                        You can do this already by sending an email to your phone number @ your carrier – for example: 1231231234@txt.att.net

                                        If you search the web, you can find a list of domains for specific carriers.

                                        (Note that we do not do any special formatting for txt so if your note is too long…it will be broken up…We might do a an SMS-specific formatting feature at some point in the, ah hem, future…)

                                        (…also note that you’re responsible for data charges)

                                          • allow us to use HTML in the emails sent.

                                            Such as allowing us to change font size, bold text, change font colour, etcetera. Just a thought. :)
