Pegasus Mail has had this feature for years, spots that you mentioned an attachment or enclosure and alerts you to the fact that you didn’t attach it…

Obviously, there are occasions for false positives, but better to see a couple of those occasionally than have to wipe egg off your face when you don’t file that story/image with your editor that was on deadline.

Ah it probably is a GM script that I didn’t know I had. Thats the first time it worked though!

Thats my hubby and my fave thing to say about the Dems - always trying to save us from ourselves. But youre exactly right about them all. Thats why Im a Libertarian at heart. Pity they don’t have any worthy contenders.

I’ve been using a GreaseMonkey (Firefox) script that does that, as I am a chronic attachment forgetter. I guess Gmail decided to bundle it as core functionality! Cool.

And don’t worry, that feature can be done completely at a local level.

Sidenote, re: Big Brother and Democrats: I’m re-reading 1984 curently, and what’s really scaring me is how frequently it reminds me of Republicans — not just Democrats. They both want to control you, it’s just a matter of which part.
