Email Screening Software

So long story short, my dad is developing a slight case of dementia. I've come to terms with it, but I've found out he's been sending out emails that he shouldn't be. I don't want to take away his internet or email because he's normal and fine like 90% of the time, but there are times when he loses it and writes emails that shouldn't be sent out.
He uses Yahoo mail. Is there any software or setting that will prevent an email from being sent until I or my sisters read it? I have access to his account, but I didn't know if there was a way to basically screen his emails before he sent them.

And no, there isn't.
But there is no parenting software for overprotective parents where you screen emails or anything?

He should probably see a real physician though, maybe it's manageable for the time being.
It's just when he's on the computer he sometimes writes shit he shouldn't be. I put download blockers on his computer so he basically can't download anything, but I need to go a step further somehow. Think I could set up an email client on his computer, run his email through it, then impose my blocker on it so I'll get notified before he sends something out?

What happens when he goes to ymail's site, though?

What about changing the password and having your mom be the "gatekeeper"? She logs in for him when he wants to use his email.
Or install nanny software that password protects every email hosting website you can think of. Mom lets him into his email.
But if he did make a new email account, would he remember email addresses to send to? I don't know many email addresses by heart.
Does the nanny software use content filtering or DNS filtering?
Though at that point we're getting away from the technical abilities of one person... though adding a socks proxy to IE/chrome/firefox is not difficult. Knowing of them is though.
Hell I could point my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and be done with it.
Need freaking group policies to lock down someone's computer like that!
