Several years ago, somebody invented a clever email add-on that would
alert you to the fact that you were using harsh language, so you
wouldn't hit the "send" key.

This is wrongheaded.  The place you want to put it is on the receive
end, to alert you that someone was about to insult you, so you could
delete the diatribe without reading it.

Does anybody know what was the name of that invention, or the company
or person who invented it?
