While I wouldn't be a big fan of "guessing" the correct email address...

One thing that has crossed my mind is an email address "spell checker."
When I type in email addresses, it would compare the userids and hostnames
to ones in my addressbook, folders, etc.

The idea would be for it to notice when I type "conell.edu" rather than
"cornell.edu" in an long list of cc address, for instance.  It would
pop up a little window saying, "Are you sure you want to send this to
conell.edu, or did you mean... <list of alternatives>?"

Has anyone noticed a mailer that does something like this?

Maybe it's a useful feature, maybe it's just bloating the mailer. :)
