Attachments Forget Reminder is a powerful Microsoft Office Outlook Add-In. It reminds you if forget to add the attachments to the outgoing email messages.

Pros: Attachments Forget Reminder is a add-on program. It tries to guard against a situation that happens quite often and prove to be an embarrassment. One tends to hit the send key prior to attaching enclosures even though the body of the mails says so. This Outlook add on scans the mail for key phrases that appear in the mail body and then check if there’s actually an attachment. You can specify a list of these key phrases that will be searched by the program in the mail body. Phrases can be anything like “see attachments”, “attached” or any other typical phrase that you use in such situations. You can ask for the reminder in all cases as well as situations where there may already be some attachments included with the mail. It then asks you if you meant to attach a file before sending the email, giving you a chance to insert the attachment. Plain Text, RTF, or HTML based email formats can be used with the application. Editing of key phrases, adding, deleting etc are vital part of the functionality provided by this piece of software.

Enabling/disabling of the add-in is simple as is the installation. You can use a large number of keywords to make this fool-proof. The new content in messages forwarded or replied are checked. Standard files like vcard and other signature files are recognized by the application. The application is integrated into the Outlook tools.

Cons: Nothing particular noticed.

Overall: Truly a nice functionality. Choice of key phrases gives the software the true flexibility. Overall this is certainly 4 stars.
