Obviously the idea is not perfect, nor will it solve all problems.
Users of external editors obviously would not be able to take
advantage as I can imagine.

I am sure the bottom line is check your work before sending, like
running spell-check. Reinterations prevent mistakes. I only intended
for the idea to be a crutch. With internal editor, short messages, &
normal use, it would help me & I am sure many others!

It may get People oriented to not top-post as much. Make them aware!
