238621 - Nag me about attaching a file if certain keywords are matched in my e-mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 35601

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Johan Walles]

Something that happens to me quite often is I write an e-mail saying "see the
attached blah blah..." but forget to attach anything.

Upon me clicking Send, I would like Mozilla to:
1. Scan my e-mail for attachment keywords.
2. If one is found, and I haven't attached anything, ask me if I really want to
send the e-mail without any attachment.

Since English isn't the language most people use for e-mail, the list of
keywords must be user-modifiable.  Defaults may or may not be part of different
language packs.

Interesting...
Is there a specific reason why you filed this for the old 1.4 branch and not for
the main development trunk?

Comment 2

[Johan Walles]

1.4 is just what I happen to be using at the moment.

If this gets implemented somewhere else, that would be fine with me.

Already mentioned in bug 35601 comment 8 and bug 35601 comment 34,
related/duplicate?

Comment 4

[Johan Walles]

I'll consider this a dupe for now.

I'll re-open if bug 35601 gets a solution that I'm not happy with.
