Default Can you warn before sending to a GAL distribution list ?

We have a lot of different distribution list across our organisation.
Unfortunately not all are named in such a way that it is exactly
identifiable who it is going to. Is there a way that you can create a
warning when you send a email to a distribution list for the user to
double check.
Eg For the Finance Services distribution list (about 130 people),
perhaps a pop up that appears when someone hits send that says 'this
email is directed to all Finance Services, do you wish to continue'.

Nothing like that is built into Outlook.
