Attachments

In this section, you can configure settings related to email attachments. Use the Check for missing attachments switch to enable checking for missing attachments in an email. In case the email contains one of the keywords to remind you of the attachment while you are typing, an info pane will appear at the bottom with information about the keywords found, as well as two buttons:

Add Attachment: When clicked, a system dialog will open to select the attachment file.

Remind Me Later: Click to display a reminder right when you send your message.

If the reminder pane is open or an option Remind Me Later is on, the message “Did you forget to add an attachment?” will pop up when you send the email. Click Send to send the message without the attachment.
