Electronic message alerting

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product to provide a user creating an electronic message one or more alerts related to the content and addressees of the electronic message. A computer identifies the one or more addressees of the electronic message. The computer determines one or more alerts associated with each of the identified one or more addressees. The computer displays the alerts in a manner that each step is performed prior to the computer transmitting the electronic message for delivery to one or more addressees.

What is claimed is:

         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each step is performed prior to the computer transmitting the electronic message for delivery to the one or more addressees. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:
 the computer identifying the content of the electronic message; and   the computer determining one or more alerts associated with each of the identified one or more addresses.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising the steps of:
 the computer identifying the content of one or more electronic messages stored in a storage device to acquire text data of one or more sentences of the stored electronic messages sent to the user from one or more addressees;   the computer determining which of the one or more sentences are questions and which of the one or more sentences are non-questions within the acquired text data of stored electronic messages sent to the user from one or more addressees;   the computer storing the one or more sentences into the database based on whether the one or more sentences are questions or non-question sentences;   the computer identifying the content of the electronic message to acquire text data of the one or more sentences of the electronic message;   the computer determining which of the one or more sentences of the electronic message are questions and which of the one or more sentences are non-questions within the acquired text data; and   the computer compares the one or more non-question sentences of the electronic message with the stored one or more question sentences to determine if all of stored questions of the addressee are answered.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising the step of:
 the computer displays the one or more alerts on the display that includes a list of open questions if one or more non-question sentences are not answered.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic message is selected from the group consisting of: an e-mail, an instant message, a MMS, a SMS, and a blog post.
