How many times have you typed up a lengthy e-mail mean to have a file attached, only to hit the send button without attaching that file? If you’re quick, you can usually follow your message right up with a quick “Sorry, here’s the attachment” message. And if you forget completely, you usually return to your inbox a while later to find multiple replies asking about the missing attachment.
Forgotten Attachment Detector by Bhavesh Chauhan of Microsoft Office Labs is an add-on for the Outlook 2007 e-mail client that is meant to avoid this potentially embarrassing situation. Forgotten Attachment Detector, or FAD for short, will scan your messages for keywords that indicate your intention to include an attachment. If FAD think you planned to attach a file to an e-mail and you attempt to send the message without doing so, FAD will notify you of the potential omission and give you a chance to correct the mistake before the e-mail gets on its way.
Forgotten Attachment Detector is compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Outlook 2007.
