Abstract
A user is writing an email or other message. A text processing layer prepares the message for analysis and performs some initial analysis and preparation such as a sentence separator, a 'tokenizer', a 'unique body' identification, and/or possibly other filtering or analysis routines. An analytics layer analyzes the message using a “regular expressions” analysis, a statistical natural language processing analysis, and/or a template matching analysis. If an attachment is indicated, a suggestion to add an attachment is provided to the user. The analysis may begin when the user begins creating the message, indicates that the message should be sent, or at some point in between. The user may provide feedback that the suggestion is accepted or that the suggestion is rejected.
