Forgotten Attachment Detector Reminds You To Attach That File
Windows only: Microsoft Outlook plug-in Forgotten Attachment Detector analyses your email for clues that you really meant to attach the cover sheet for that TPS report.
The plugin works similarly to most of the other attachment reminders that we’ve written about before—the difference is that this one is created by Microsoft’s Office Labs and only works for Vista and Outlook 2007. Once you try to send a message, if the plugin detects that you meant to attach a file, it will prompt you before allowing you to send the email—and as a nice touch, it will even tell you what triggered the message.
Forgotten Attachment Detector is a free download for Windows Vista, requires Outlook 2007. For a similar utility, check out the Missing Attachment Powertoy—or learn how to create a macro to stop forgetting the subject line.

Hmmmm,well, I'm going to go ahead and resend you that memo, because if you got that memo, I see no reason for you to have forgotten the new coversheets off your TPS report.
You see, because it's just that we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now, so, ahhhh, yeah. You did get the memo, right?
Too bad you are forced to participate in the usage metrics or you cannot install the software.
No thanks, I'll stick to the PowerToy.

Thanks for another great program
Nice TPS reference.

I was just thinking. I have a disclaimer in my signature that mentions the word "attachments". The macro I created similar to this plugin, ignores the keyword in my signature (using a simple if statement).
Now, i read on the program's link that theres a keword list that you can add to, but is there an 'ignore' list??

This feature has been present in KMail for several years now.

I already use a VB Macro I coded. But this one looks a lot cleaner!

Edit button plz :/
Unfortunately, our machines at work are locked down (although I'm an administrator and I could bypass them) for security reasons. So, if you can install applications like this, I still recommend using the macro.
Ooh - now this one is definitely being installed. I tried the recent write up on using macros, but apparently you can't have two running at the same time -- they both pop-up warning you (no attachment/no subject), at least in my case. Thanks!
I installed the app once I saw it here. Got all excited and then..... It didn't work. Apparently there are issues using the S/W on an XP system, even though I'm running Office 2K7.

Really a good plug-ins for an E-mail client. Although I always attach file first before sending my mail, however I will apply this freature.
