High on our list of dream e-mail features is something to stop us from sending an e-mail without the attachments we claim to be including. Well, if you're a Gmail user, that feature is now available through an awesome new Labs feature: Forgotten Attachment Detector.
Forgotten Attachment Detector (which you can enable in the Labs section of your Gmail settings) adds a warning if you use the word "attached" in an e-mail, but don't actually attach any files. The warning acts just like the existing warnings when you forget to write a subject or add a recipient for your e-mail.

Similarly, if you tell someone to "see the files in this message" the filter will miss the cue, but at least some of the time, it should help remind you to actually attach your files.
