Nah, given how many times I and people I work with have made exactly that mistake, I was quite pleased when I heard about this feature.

It would be creepy if it said something like 'Did you mean to talk smack about one of the people on the CC: list for this e-mail. You wrote "Frank is an idiot" and one of the addresses in the CC: list includes the word "frank". Send anyway? [OK] [Cancel]'

Or perhaps 'Did you mean to seem like a creep to this girl you seem to like? You wrote... ugh, I can't even stand to display what you wrote in a dialog box, but trust me... shudder. Send anyway? [OK] [Cancel]' with the OK button greyed out.

I've made this mistake many times, and have often wished that EXACTLY this feature were available. I'm happy that it is now.

Yeah, it's available in Thunderbird too. Whatever.

I would like the options FishBike describes above. kthx.

For me, it would just say, "Dude, NOT smooth."

"No, seriously, dude. I know you are being sorta creepy for comedic effect and don't really mean it, but is this really the place for your typical performance art bullshit?"

I think there's some sort of add-on for Outlook that does this too, but you have to pay extra for it or use an exchange server or something.

So, Clippy's back?
