Outlook Plug-In Keeps Tone of Your Email In Check 119
Meshach writes "A new plug-in for Outlook will warn you if an email you are about to send is 'too emotional.' Basically the plug-in scans the email for emotions such as elation, humiliation, excitement and fear. A user can set how much emotion they want to allow in their messages and if exceeded the threshold a warning will pop up."

But integrating this with Clippy would be awesome!
It looks like you're writing a death threat! I can help you with that. Would you like me to:
>>> Track down the street address of the bastard you're going to kill and display it on Bing?
>>> Recommend ways to kill the bastard and vendors who might carry the supplies you need nearby?
>>> Tone down the note so the bastard doesn't see it coming?
>>> Find a therapist nearby so you can develop a sentence-reducing sense of remorse after the killing?
Optional Paid Services:
>>> For a one-time fee of $12,000, I can appear on your victim's screen continuously, alter the contents of their documents and emails to look embarrassing, and generally act like MS-Office does, only more extreme, until your intended victim loses the will to live and commits suicide. Charge will appear on your credit card bill as "hookers and blow" so the police will be misled into charging you with a far lesser crime if they ever trace it to you, which is pretty much impossible anyway. Hook me up with some really good acid-free vellum (you know how us paperclips like nice paper!) and we can discuss a discount, but it's gotta be the good stuff, not the crappy vellum you buy at Staples.
