Before sending, check that a particular word is not in the message body

Hi all:

Before sending an e-mail, I want check that a particular word (like "my secret") is not in the message body.

Is there any way to do this? I couldn't find any add-on to that end.

If there isn't anything like that, is there any add-on (or an easy way) to run a user-defined script before sending an e-mail? I could then try to write some simple JavaScript code in order to search the message body for a number of words I want to be alerted about.

Failing that, I could use an add-on like Keyword Highlight to automatically highlight unwanted words, but that add-on has been abandoned and does not work anymore. Is there anything similar? I am thinking about something like spell checking, but in reverse, where certain words get underlined in red.

Thanks in advance,

I just found out that add-on "Check and Send" can be configured to do that check, and just that check alone.
