Nothing wrong with doing this in the MTA because you know your own system & usage habits better than we do, but the job of "figuring out what the user wants" is something that should take place in the MUA. I note that Thunderbird 3 at least has a tool for detecting potential attachmentless messages, and probably others do too. Putting the detection & response in the MTA means that you can't feedback to the user quickly & accurately, and the user has the option of saying "yes I know it looks like I should have attached but I know what I'm doing (this time)". (As I typed that last sentence, Thunderbird popped up a black banner at the foot of the screen, saying "Found an attachment keyword: "attached" [Add Attachment] [Remind me later]") -jim -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
