If your using outlook. Goto File > options > Mail > then scroll down to the " send messages " section . In there you should see a checkbox for " warn me when I send a message that may be missing an attachment. "

Once that's enabled outlook looks for keywords in the body of the email such as attached, attachment, e.t.c. and will warn you if there's nothing attached.

So if you at any point in the email say " please see attached, issue is attached, screenshot attached e.t.c. " then you'll be in the clear.

Also, 2 minute delay before sending any work emails. That saved my ass multiple times already

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Thunderbird does this too. I think it's enabled by default

Problem: Our ticket system is outside of M365.
So for me: Get fucked.

Oh well...Customers will just get a 2nd email แ••( แ› )แ•—

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

That's dope. Thank you

[-] Ilovemyirishtemper@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That has saved me more times than I care to count.

e.t.c.

Only the cetera in et cetera is shortened.

[-] Plibbert@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Holy shit what. So it's supposed to be et.c.? What have I done! All those emails!

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I never turned this on and it always warns me about messages that have no relation to attachments at all. It's really annoying

[-] papalonian@kbin.social 23 points 2 years ago

Gmail is so nice because after it's done scouring through my potentially private emails it lets me know if I said "is attached" but didn't attach any files

[-] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I also like the "undo send" button. Saves me all the time at work.

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The only drawback is how long your onosecond is. If you have a very high onosecond, the undo send button can't help ya.

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

many, probably most, email clients do this

And you've written some painfully edited highly professional email to your professor or boss and the response you get back from them is a single sentence, not even a signature.

So glad they made it such a point to teach us to write professional emails in my freshman year of college.

Put the address in last. You can't accidentally send an unfinished email if there is no-one to send it to.

Doesn't work with Reply, but it's my standard practice for new and Forwarded emails. It's saved me a few times!

[-] checksout@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Same. I put the cc:s first, then the message, then the attachment, last the main recipient.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago

Thunderbird now has a really useful reminder popup for that!

[-] RQG@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Im pretty sure this has existed for quite some time now.

[-] roembol@lemmy.roembol.nl 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah this has been there for as long as I can remember.

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yes I think too, but it got better or different or opt-out or anything, not sure.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Every fucking time! I honestly think I have some type of aversion to attaching the file before hitting send.

[-] Hovenko@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 2 years ago

On Kmail you have the option to send with delay.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

On Outlook you can set rules for anything except X text in the recipient mail making you able to set wildcards to some extent.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
