Helpful Email Reminders

You’ve finally finished typing that email and pressed send.  Done!

Until you receive a response to your message an hour later that says, “You mentioned an attachment in your message, but there wasn’t anything attached.” 

It seems like we all do that – forgot to include the file attachments we meant to include in an email message.  Thanks to a free plugin for Outlook, you can now be alerted before you send your message without the attachment.

Visit CodeTwo’s website to download the free Outlook Attachment Reminder.  Install and configure it to scan for text in your email’s subject line and body text (such as “attachment” or “attached” or “see document”).  When you press the send button, the system scans your message.  If it finds any of these phrases, but sees that you did not attach a file, it will prompt you to do so before sending the email.

There you have it – a quick, easy and FREE way to ensure that you don’t forget to include attachments anymore.
