ATTACHMENT REMINDER

If you've ever sent an email only to realize that you've forgotten to attach a needed file, the Attachment Reminder add-on is for you. When you click the Send button, the add-on checks your message for any keywords you've defined as "signals" for including an attachment. If it finds any of the keywords, the add-on prompts you to add an attachment.

NOTE: As of November 2011, Attachment Reminder is not yet compatible with Thunderbird 7 or 8.
