No. 60/721,224, entitled RULE-BASED E-MAIL COMMUNICATION PROCESSING, filed on September 27, 2005, the entire disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein. FIELD OP THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to analyzing and processing electronic messages including, for example, e-mail communications. BACKGROUND If an e-mail is sent to an incorrect recipient, it can cause severe consequences to a firm including lost business and increased exposure to legal liability. Mistakes are typically severe because e-mail communications often cross firm boundaries. Incorrect e-mail transmissions may occur for a number of reasons. For example, a high volume of e-mail communications may lead to shorter attention spans by personnel and less care being given to addressing e-mails. Further, e-mail applications, WO 2007/038583 PCT/US2006/037653 such as Microsoft Outlook™, for example, provide features that allow for instant "pinpoint" access to a cache of recently used addresses which "auto-complete" the e-mail address as it is being typed; however, these features may result in the auto-completion of an incorrect e-mail address. In addition, many firms have integrated customer relationship management (CRM) systems into their e-mail addressing systems. CRM systems typically have larger contact lists than individual e-mail contact lists, and thus, a greater frequency of mistakes may occur when a CRM system is used. Further, there may be an overlap of names between the external and internal addressing systems of a firm's e-mail system, and, when both addressing systems are accessible to a user, additional mistakes can occur. In addition, as the number of a firm's clients increases, the possibility of having similar or identical names such as "John Smith", for example, likewise increases. In an attempt to reduce the frequency of the above-discussed mistakes, previous e-mail systems automatically reminded users that they should review the recipients of an e-mail before transmitting it However, these automatic warnings were often"spurious as most e-mails are actually correctly addressed. As a result, in many cases, users quickly became "trained" to click through and ignore these ineffective warnings when sending e-mails and thus became less attuned to the possibility of an incorrectly addressed e-mail. In view of the foregoing issues, what are needed are more effective systems and processes for processing e-mail communications. SUMMARY In various embodiments, a computer-assisted method for processing an electronic message includes the steps of reviewing the recipients of the electronic message, evaluating whether any of the recipients of the electronic message are potentially incorrect, and prompting the sender of the electronic message to evaluate 2 WO 2007/038583 PCT/US2006/037653 whether the potentially incorrect recipients are correct. This computer-assisted method, as it evaluates whether a recipient may be potentially incorrect, may provide an effective warning to the sender of the electronic message as opposed to previous systems which automatically, and often, spuriously, warned the sender that a recipient may be incorrect without ever evaluating the recipients. In various embodiments, a computer- readable medium for processing an electronic message comprises computer-executable instructions thereon for reviewing the recipients of the electronic message, evaluating whether any of the recipients of the electronic message are potentially incorrect, and prompting the sender of the electronic message to evaluate whether the potentially incorrect recipients are correct. In various embodiments, a computer-assisted system for processing an electronic message comprises an e-mail communication management module for reviewing the recipients of the electronic message, evaluating whether any of the recipients of the electronic message are potentially incorrect, and prompting the sender of the electronic message to evaluate whether the potentially incorrect recipients are correct BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES The utility of the embodiments of the invention will be readily appreciated and understood from consideration of the following description of the embodiments of the invention when viewed in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein: Figure 1 includes an architecture diagram illustrating various system embodiments provided in association with the present invention; 3 WO 2007/038583 PCT/US2006/037653 Figure 2 includes a process flow diagram illustrating a method or process embodiment provided in association with the present invention; and Figure 3 includes a process flow diagram illustrating an alternative method or process embodiment provided in association with the present invention. Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplifications set out herein illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention, in various forms, and such exemplifications are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner. DESCRIPTION Referring now to Figures 1 and 2, the present invention provides embodiments of an e-mail communication management module 102 that may reside within, or maybe operatively associated with, a conventional e-mail application 104, such as Microsoft Outlook™, for example, of a firm 106 or institution. The e-mail application 104 may be configured to facilitate, transmit, and/or receive e-mail communications through a variety of communication media 108, such as, for example, wirele'ss" data'networks, wireline networks, and/or networked media (such as Internet, intranet, or extranet), to and/or from various access devices 110 such as, for example, computer systems, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless phones. In operation, at step 202, the module 102 may be configured to detect events such as, for example, the sending of e-mail, and/or the transmission of electronic messages via instant-messaging windows and/or other electronic messaging software applications. When one or more of these events occur, at step 204, the module 102 may scan the electronic message generated by such electronic messaging software and review the recipients of the electronic message. At step 206, the module 102 may evaluate whether the recipients of the electronic message are potentially incorrect. To perform 4 WO 2007/038583 PCT/US2006/037653 this evaluation, as discussed in further detail below, the module 102 may evaluate the recipients of the electronic message according to one or more predefined rules 112. To this end, in various embodiments, the module 102 may employ one or more rule modules that can be configured with a variety of heuristics to "guess" when an e-mail user has misaddressed an e-mail, for example, and may be configured to prompt the user, at step 212, to evaluate, and possibly correct, the recipient list. In the event that the module 102 determines that, in view of rules 112, the electronic message is properly addressed, the module 102 may permit the electronic message to be sent to the recipients. The above-described module 102 is an improvement over previous e-mail modules. Previous e-mail modules do not evaluate whether the recipients of the electronic message may be incorrect before prompting the sender to confirm that the recipients are correct Rather, these previous e-mail modules prompt the sender to confirm that the recipients are correct before transmitting every e-mail. As a result, users of these previous e-mail systems typically ignore these warnings as they do not assist the user in evaluating whether the recipients may be incorrect. The module 102 of the "present invention is an improvement over these previous modules as the module 102 prompts the sender only when the module 102 has determined that the electronic message meets at least one of pre-defined rules 112. Accordingly, as the sender is warned only if one of rules 112 is met, the sender is more likely to evaluate the recipients of the electronic message after being prompted by the module. In various embodiments, to further facilitate the sender's review of the electronic message, the module 102 may prompt the sender in such a way that the sender has an opportunity to correct any mistakes in the recipient list without having to return to the e-mail composition window in the e-mail application 104. 5 VO 2007/038583 PCT/US2006/037653 After the sender has been prompted to evaluate the recipients of the electronic message at step 212, the sender, at step 214, may respond to the prompt by affirming that the recipients of the electronic message are correct. In this event, the module 102 may permit the electronic message to be sent to the recipients at step 210. However, in the event that the sender determines that one or more recipients are incorrect, the sender may correct the recipients at step 216. The module 102 may then allow the message to be sent to the recipients at step 210, or, in various embodiments, the module 102 may re-evaluate the recipients of the electronic message in the manner described above. The module 102 may re-evaluate all of the recipients or only the corrected recipients. In various embodiments, the above-described actions of the sender can be recorded and reviewed by a supervisor and/or auditor, for example. In view of this potential supervisory review, it is believed that the senders of the electronic messages will diligently consider any warnings or prompts from the rule module. For example, in the event that an electronic message is misaddressed, the actions of the sender can be reviewed to determine whether the sender was warned about the misaddressed electronic message before it was sent. The e-mail communication management module 102 may employ a rules engine configured to apply one or more of the rules 112. One rule may involve issuing a warning to a sender when the recipient, or recipients, of the message are not included in the sender's contact list stored in the e-mail application. Other rules may involve issuing a warning when a recipient of the electronic message is not included in the customer relationship management (CRM) system 114, where the CRM system 114 includes a database of contacts from more than one user. Another rule may involve issuing a 6 WO 2007/038583 PCT/US2006/037653 warning when a recipient's name is identical to or substantially similar to at least two names in the sender's e-mail list and/or CRM system 114. Another rule may involve issuing a warning when the e-mail domain name, i.e., the right-hand side portion of an e-mail address after the "@" sign, of the recipient, or recipients, does not match or substantially correspond to information associated with existing relationships in the firm's CRM system and/or existing e-mail contacts of the user stored in the e-mail application. Another rule may involve issuing a warning to a sender based on the ratio of internal to external recipients of the e-mail message, and/or a ratio of the occurrences of different e-mail domain names. When applying these rules, the module 102 may count the recipients having the same domain name as the sender and the recipients having a different domain name than the sender, and notify the sender when the ratio of these addresses exceeds a predetermined value, for example. Another rule may involve issuing a warning when predefined key words or phrases in the e-mail body, subject, and/or attachments are found in the message. When applying this rule, the module 102 may scan the message for these words or phrases which, if found, indicate that the e-mail may not be appropriately addressed to recipients outside of firm 106, for example. Another rule may involve issuing a warning when predefined key words or phrases are found in e-mail attachment metadata. The metadata may identify, for example, the type of document being attached, an intended audience of the document, or a customer to whom the document pertains. When applying this rule, the characteristics of the e-mail recipient list, including, but not limited to, e-mail domain names, full e-mail addresses, ratio of internal to external addresses, prior contact history, and other characteristics, may be compared with the metadata to decide the likelihood of an addressing mistake. In addition, this rule may be 7 WO 2007/038583 PCT/US2006/037653 associated with prompting the user for document metadata as part of the document creation process such as, e.g., within word processing or spreadsheet software applications, or other document creation applications, such that the supplied metadata can be used for comparison purposes as described above. Referring to Fig. 3, in various embodiments, after a sender has instructed the module 102 that the recipients of the electronic message are correct, module 102 may use the sender's input to learn new rules, or exceptions to existing rules, that may reduce incorrect warnings when evaluating subsequent electronic messages. In various embodiments, the module 102 may also permit the sender to revise the rules 112. In these embodiments, the sender can "notify" module 102 about a new relationship or contact, for example, and "instruct" the module 102 to transmit future electronic messages without warning the sender that the new contact may be incorrect. Such instructions may involve adding an e-mail address to the user's set of known e-mail contacts or CRM system 114, for example. This learned information may then be used to define one or more rules 112 that can suppress the above-discussed warning prompt. The benefits of the e-mail communication management modules described herein will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Embodiments of the invention provide a rich and diverse set of heuristics which can be integrated into a firm's CRM systems. The invention also provides e-mail communication management modules with the capability to leam to avoid unnecessary future warnings.
