One of the most common embarrassments for email users around the world is
sending an email but forgetting to add important attachments.  This leads to
rounds of polite but slightly reproachful other emails asking the sender to
re-send with the attachment, uncertainty on everyone's part that perhaps their
mail client messed up, and general confusion and waste of time and bandwidth.

To help reduce this problem, would it be possible to put pre-sending filters
into the composer component?  This could check for phrases or words which
suggest that someone means to attach something, such as "I've attached the ...
" and if it thinks you meant to add an attachment, pop up a little warning
before sending.  Naturally, add a prominent control to disable this helpful
feature, since it will annoy the pants off many users - but for others it may
save us from frequently looking like a dope in email to friends and colleagues.
