Abstract

A writing style of content of a composed message, directed to a set of recipients, may be determined. A previous message that includes a first subset of recipients in the set of recipients may be analyzed. Writing habits of the first subset of recipients may be identified based on the analyzing. A difference between the writing style of the content and the writing habits of the first subset of recipients may be identified. The content of the composed message may be modified based on the difference.

Claims (11)

1. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:

determine, using natural language processing, a writing style of content of a composed message written by a composer;

analyze, using natural language processing, a set of responses to a set of previous messages, wherein the previous messages in the set of previous messages were sent by the composer and the response was written by a responder;

identify, based on the analyzing the response, a set of reactions to the previous messages;

develop, based on the set of reactions, a long-term writing history of the composer, wherein the long-term writing history implies that the composer's messages have developed an angry sentiment recently;

conclude, based on the long-term writing history, that the composed message is likely to have an angry sentiment;

modify, based on the concluding, the content of the composed message.

2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the modifying is limited by the composer.

3. The computer program product of claim 2 , wherein the limit places restrictions on the amount to which a type of modification may change the message.

4. The computer program product of claim 1 , further comprising displaying, to the composer, a generated modification before the modifying.

5. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the modifying occurs before composer attempts to send the composed message to the set of recipients.
