282935 - Remind of attachment bevor sending email if message body contains the word "attachment" but mail has no attachment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 244455

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[Robert Bamler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

A common mistake when sending emails with attachments is to fill in the receiver
and subject, write the message body and then forget to attach the desired files
before sending the mail. This does not only happen to me - I often get emails
from other people who make exactly the same mistake.

Thus, it would be cool if Thunderbird searched the message body for words like
"attachment" (in the user's language) when the user clickes on "Send". If it
finds such a keyword (not in quoted text), but the message does not have any
attachments, a message box could pop up saying something like: "It seems that
you are referring to an email-attachment in your message's text. However, the
mail you are about to send does not have any attachments. Are you shure you want
to continue sending the message without any attachments?".

There should be a "don't ask this again"-option, though.
