Double checking emails before Sending(outlook)

Hi-

This is a question from my girlfriend. Okay, so recently she sent a reply to a company that bid on a contract she is managing. However, she accidently included information that was for another company. One company was approved, and the other not- bad political situation. Her question is

Does MS Outlook have a function that would allow her to send an email message, and then, before it is finally sent, give her an opportunity to check the message for errors?

She has admitted to me she is not the most attention-specific person. Thanks for any help you can offer. Robert

PEBKAC problems are rarely resolved by adding more technology.

Some things simply can be solved by being careful. This is one such thing.

This reminds me of the warning messages that you get asking if you're sure that you want to delete X, Y and Z... Of COURSE I wanted to delete X, Y and Z... I don't make mistakes.

Until you do.

That dialog box confirming you are sure, will simply be ignored in short order.

A quick google led me to this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/use-outlook-rules-to-prevent-oh-no-after-sending-emails/

But I honestly suggest that she slow down and simply re-read important emails.
