I have an idea for a new feature for MS Outlook that I don't believe
currently exists. I believe it would be relatively easy to create, could be
very marketable for Microsoft and could potentially save some of your
customers' careers(!)
Addressee Filter and Warning
Would allow the user to establish a list of email addresses that would
require a second confirmation before the message is sent. It could be set up
similarly to Inbox Rules, allowing the user to establish a list and then
choose which rules to apply to which addresses. Would be very helpful to
allow a wildcard or other approach so that you could apply rules to all
addresses ending with certain characters (e.g., *.ncr.com), instead of having
to list each address with that ending. Whenever one of these addresses is in
the To, Cc or Bcc box (perhaps you should provide the option to specify which
box), and the send button is pushed, a dialogue box would pop up that says
something like: "Warning! (e-mail address removed) is on your Sensitive Addressess
List. Are you sure you want to send?" You could either have a dialogue box
pop up one at a time for each addressee, show the whole list of sensitive
addressees, or if you wanted to go the low rent route, you could just go
generic and say "…. One or more of your addresses is on your Sensitive
Addresses list; are you sure, etc." Rules would need to apply (or preferably
have the option of applying to) new messages, forwarded messages and replies.
Would be great for the user to be able to choose the kind of warning
box/boxes they get. If you really want to have fun with this, allow the user
to associate a sound with the warning, or better yet, specific sounds with
specific addresses. (I have a couple that I would want to use sirens for…)
Thanks for considering this idea.
