7. A destination-address right/wrong determining method used in a communication terminal having an email message sending-and-receiving function, the method comprising the steps of:
-
storing email-message information of at least a sent email message as email-message history information; storing email-message information of an intended-to-be-sent email message that is being prepared at said communication terminal, the intended-to-be-sent email message being an email message which has yet to be sent from the communication terminal, as intended-to-be-sent email message information; determining with a processor at the communication terminal whether a destination address of the intended-to-be-sent email message is right or wrong by comparing the email-message history information with at least a message body of the intended-to-be-sent email message information; and displaying a notification of the wrong destination address to a user if the destination address is determined to be wrong and requesting the user to check the destination address prior to sending the email message from the communication terminal; and extracting keywords per target address from the email message history information and extracting keywords from the message body of the intended-to-be-sent email messages, wherein said determining determines whether the destination address of the intended-to-be-sent email message is right or wrong by comparing the keywords extracted from the intended-to-be-sent email message information with those extracted from the email message history information, and said determining obtains a degree of email-message correlation between the intended-to -be-sent email message and at least a sent email message sent to a target address by the comparison, and determines whether the destination address of the intended-to-be-sent email message is right or wrong on the basis of the degree of email-message correlation.
