Verified - this is true and still working for me.
1. You press "SEND+drop mic" button (note how close the buttons are: http://imgur.com/5gBZVOh http://imgur.com/5gBZVOh )
2. It says message sent and archived: http://imgur.com/GpOhiLY http://imgur.com/GpOhiLY
3. Go to other recipient email, it contains attachment of mic drop image. http://imgur.com/Bs0iISe http://imgur.com/Bs0iISe
4. Reply and it doesn't show up in inbox because conversation was archived (only accessible from "All Mail")
- hudell 11y agoRegular archived conversations go back to inbox everytime there's a new message.
- jffry 11y agoUnder the hood perhaps is it muting [1] the conversation in GMail? If you're part of a long message conversation that isn't relevant, you can mute the conversation to keep all future additions out of your inbox.

- muraiki 11y agoAs a colorblind user I'm not quite sure what color the send+mic button is, but I'm drawn to it much more strongly than the normal send button. At the very least you'd think they would have had a pop-up confirmation message...
- bronson 11y agoAs a non-colorblind user, me too. The orange is a lot more vibrant and attractive than the blue and doesn't convey much of a "warning, something different" message. It doesn't seem like Google tested this on many real-world users before deploying...?
- altotrees 11y agoThis exactly. My eye was drawn to the orange button last night as I went to send an email to my professor. I nearly clicked it, not remembering the date. Luckily, I just thought it might be some new weird voice feature I must not understand...that was close.
- vectorjohn 11y agoAs a person who reads and is mindful of what I click, I click the button that says what I want it to do.
- Johnny555 11y agoAs a person that sends dozens, sometimes hundreds of emails a day, I click the button that's I always click. A UI that requires the user to read every button and look at every icon that they click on because it may have been changed to do something completely different is a terrible UI. While I might notice a new color, I'm not certain that I would.
- muraiki 11y agoSomeday when you accidentally click the wrong button in something, perhaps when you are old or suffer from some disability, I hope that you remember this comment of yours. Furthermore, the icon doesn't have anything for you to read, since it uses an image (whose meaning may still not be clear to an older or disabled person; it kind of looks like an ice cream cone to me).
- nommm-nommm 11y agoExcept they both say send. The stupid icon on the other one looks like a maraca. I would have never guessed "mic drop." Let's ignore that "mic drop" is a cultural expression that someone who grew up in a different country may not be familiar with. To be honest it look like a "send and play music" button to me.
- eecsninja 11y agoNot just you. I've lived in the USA since I was a young lad and work for Google. I had never heard of 'mic drop' until this prank. Then again, I don't watch TV so maybe I missed out on it being used.
- nommm-nommm 11y agoI grew up in the Northeast US. I only heard the expression be used in the last year or so. I'm not even sure what it means. I do watch TV.
