Ensuring that a composed message is being sent to the appropriate recipient

A computer program product for ensuring that a composed message is being sent to an appropriate recipient, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising the programming instructions for:

• detecting a message being composed by an author;
• identifying a recipient to receive said composed message;
• analyzing said composed message to identify the following characteristics:
• a topic, a greeting, a dialect, a conversation pattern and a language pattern, wherein said conversation pattern comprises one or more of the following:

• a name, a language, a location, a gender, an age, an ethnicity, a social group, an expertise, interests, topic affinities for particular users, a language pattern, historical topics discussed, topic discussed in current conversation thread and a conversation pattern;
• generating a score based on a consistency between said characteristics of said analyzed message with said characteristics of said recipient obtained from said first profile;
• issuing a notification to said author to ensure that said recipient is a correct recipient to receive said composed message in response to said score being less than a threshold value;
• and
• allowing said composed message to be sent to said recipient without issuing said notification to said author in response to said score not being less than said threshold value.

A system, comprising:

• a memory unit for storing a computer program for ensuring that a composed message is being sent to an appropriate recipient;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory unit, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program instructions of the computer program comprising:
• detecting a message being composed by an author;
• identifying a recipient to receive said composed message;
• analyzing said composed message to identify the following characteristics:
• a topic, a greeting, a dialect, a conversation pattern and a language pattern, wherein said conversation pattern comprises one or more of the following:
• a conversation tone, use of abbreviations, formality of words and use of emotion words;
• obtaining a first profile storing information regarding characteristics of said recipient containing the following:
• a name, a language, a location, a gender, an age, an ethnicity, a social group, an expertise, interests, topic affinities for particular users, a language pattern, historical topics discussed, topic discussed in current conversation thread and a conversation pattern;
• generating a score based on a consistency between said characteristics of said analyzed message with said characteristics of said recipient obtained from said first profile;
• issuing a notification to said author to ensure that said recipient is a correct recipient to receive said composed message in response to said score being less than a threshold value;
• and
• allowing said composed message to be sent to said recipient without issuing said notification to said author in response to said score not being less than said threshold value.
