E-mail Plugin Helps You Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

Paranoid about how you come across in electronic missives? Well, sadly, there's not yet an app for that -- but there is software. ToneCheck, which first rolled out its inflection-analyzing program last summer, recently launched an update that PCWorld took for a spin. Currently available only for Microsoft Outlook, the ToneCheck plugin parses text for potentially unpleasant words or phrases. (In the future, add-ons for other e-mail clients will be released.)

The verdict? Promising program! But given what spellcheck has done for our collective ability to correctly string together letters, we can only fear for the emotional maturity of future generations.
