Have you ever made the mistake of instinctively clicking the SEND button after composing an email that you know you will regret afterwards? It happens, right? To avoid the humiliation of sending yet another drunk email to your ex, you should check out the newest email innovation from Eudora: MoodWatch.
Monitoring offensive messages
MoodWatch is a language tool that monitors the kind of emotion that is conveyed with each email. So when you accidentally write a potentially offensive message or use a possibly demeaning language, you will be automatically notified that you are composing a not-so polite email. To save you from the possibility of future misunderstanding or conflict, MoodWatch will then ask you to go over your message and paraphrase it.
Providing email ratings
So, how does MoodWatch know that the email is potentially offensive? Well, MoodWatch categorizes emails into three ratings whose degree of offensiveness is represented by the number of chili peppers. Here are the accompanying text warning for each rating:
* One chili pepper: Better hope you know the person.
* Two chili peppers: Watch out, you’re playin’ with fire chillies here.
* Three chili peppers: Whoa, this is the kind of thing that might get your keyboard washed out with soap.
Of course, not all emails are potentially rude or nasty. Since some of the emails are not offensive in any way, you will not see a chili pepper rating on your mood warning. Instead of a chili pepper, you will see an ice cube in the mood warning box to let you know that your message is both courteous and kind.
