I frequently come across this problem.

Because of some the long titles i use and the auto path settings the node URL tends to be long:
For example:

"http://127.0.0.1/index.php?q=This_Is_Quite_Long_Dont_You_think"

when i email sometimes the links get clipped for example
"http://127.0.0.1/index.php?q=This_Is_Quite"

and you get a 404 error.

Is it possible to customize the error page ...not just text but with a query that will return the possible URL matches

Maybe something like

Page not found
But were you looking for:
http://127.0.0.1/index.php?q=This_Is_Quite_Long_Dont_You_think
OR
http://127.0.0.1/index.php?q=This_Is_Quite_Long_Dont_You_think_Choice_2

This is too much for this module. All it does is display a predefined path. Someone else can write a 404 search (I think someone already did), and then you place it in Drupal's 404.

A workaround is that you can send them in the email

http://example.com/?q=node/123

That is:

1. Remove the index.php part.
2. Use the node ID and not the alias

That is short enough.
