Measure twice, cut once

My students Vitor and Ramnath have developed a Thunderbird plugin that implements recipient recommendation and leak detection for email. It modifies Thunderbird by adding an additional pane that pops up after you send a message, giving you one final chance to fix any errors in your recipient list.

The plugin is called Cut Once - the name comes from a phrase used repeatedly by those weird Rastafarian guys in Neuromancer. There's a brief writeup on how to use it, but it's pretty self-explanatory: just download it, open Thunderbird, and go to the tools->addon menu to install. After you've installed it, you train by opening your folder of "Sent" mail and pressing the "train" button. (This took about an hour for my 9000+ old messages, which is pretty good for something written in JavaScript.)

Any comments/feedback are appreciated. Or, if messing with your email client is too extreme for you, you could just read Vitor's ECIR 2008 paper, which is the latest one to come out of the review tunnel.
