However, it can be configured to use *any* keywords you like. I use "attach" and "include" to cover "attached", "Attachment" etc and "include" and "included". You could limit it to checking for the word "attachment" or "attached" only in which case it would still have triggered for my message above but would give fewer false alarms otherwise. I haven't tried configuring with phrases (eg. "I've attached" or "I'm sending" etc) and I'm not sure what the result would be but I kinda think it will work. Incidentally, I'm always surprised when it *does* trigger so there are very few false alarms anyhow. -- Conor Daly [EMAIL PROTECTED] Domestic Sysadmin :-) - 12:42pm up 2 days, 13:01, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.05, 0.05

Hi Conor! * Conor Daly [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010118 09:37]: OTOH, I did a little script that checks for "attach" style keywords in your message and then checks for a "content disposition attachment" type line in the message and if it doesn't find one, pop's up an xmessage to ask if you want to send without an attachment. I haven't posted the script but if anyone wants to try it out, just holler! YES! Sorry for yelling, but you asked to holler :-) Perhaps you could find a place on your home page?

Like as in catching "I have attached the file" and/or "One of the attachments is", instead of "Warning for attachment lines".

attaching multiple files with edit-headers
I just discovered the Attach: header that you can add while editing an outgoing mail. The number of times I have blushed after sending mail with xyz attached .. and no attachments :) Now there is no excuse of waiting till you get to the Composer to attach files - you can do it in vi using the ^Xf which completes file names. And now the question: Is it possible to attach more than a single file in this way? -- Eric Smith Fruitcom.com Amsterdam Wire phone : +31 20 528 7340 Mobile: +31 617 232 304 www.fruitcom.com
