Gmail attachment reminder

Reminds you to attach a file to your email if it appears that you have not.

This script checks to see if you have the word attach(ed, ment) in your email and if there is something actually attached to the email...

saves me lots of embarrasment when I say that "I have attached it to this email" but then forget to click the "attach" button.

Version 2 of my script should now handle replies/forwards.

The logic should be all the same, but I think this is a problem with the way GMail handles the whole forward/reply thing through Javascript goodness. As best I can tell Greasemonkey never manages to attach the event listener to the Send button (because there's no page reload to display the forward/reply stuff?). I'm no where near enough of a Javascript/Greasemonkey expert to get any further than that though :-(

I love this script, but it doesn't work for replys or forwards. Does anyone know how to add the same logic to those forms?

OK, i gave this a shot see this script which should hopefully work with both send buttons (well, it works for me)

So I was wrong, I looked at it more and when you cancel it takes you back to the inbox and just discards the message. Either way it's not quite right.

I don't know enough about it to offer a suggestion. The send buttons have to have some sort of individual identifier though I would think. I've noticed another problem too. If you click cancel it still sends the message.

Amazing idea!! I have already installed it, but I would love to change a thing: I write emails in English, Spanish, French & Catalan, so I would love to add more trigger words like "adjunt" for "adjunto" or "adjuntado" in Catalan or Spanish.

How can I do that? Maybe you could add some commented lines on the script with instructions on how to port it.

Still, great idea!

hey the reason that you are still having the same problem is because I have yet to fix it :(

The issue that I am having is both of the send buttons on the page have the same 'id' so if I just address the correct id of send, it ignores the second send button...

if anyone has a fix for this problem I would be happy to implement it.

I've had the same experience as the previous poster.
Haven't been able to get the "attachment reminder" to remind.

Hey there, I see my problem (it only registers clicks on the top 'send' button) and will post a fix later tonight.

thanks for the comment.

Can't seem to get it to work. Great idea though. I'm constantly having that problem as well. If only it worked...

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
