Write an email including "I've attached"
Press send without attaching what you wanted to.
GMail tells you you've said "I've attached" and asks where your attachments are.

 

I was very impressed.

I'm struggling to put into words how this makes me feel.

* It's been available in Gmail for years.

* It's been available in other email clients for decades.

* It's basically three lines of code to implement.

* It's a fucking obvious thing to do.

The fact that a computer literate person can be impressed to the level of posting praise about it is a depressing example of how much computer software has failed, because nobody should expect anything even remotely less than this level of functionality whatever application they are using.

First time I've seen it and I'm sure I'm sent emails before saying that without actually attaching anything. So, shush.

I want an email client that can read my mind rather than depend on me typing "I've attached", because it is self-evident that I attached something I never type that, even when I forgot to attach something. Also, I hate sending emails to the wrong person.

Presuambly this is because you don't like cheerios, and you wouldn't have them then. Why begs the question as to why you would like someone to piss in your cheerios (the ones that don't an won't have)?

I have a feeling there's two interpretations of that, but the answer's no to both of them.

I'd rather not think, I'd rather you just explain your response to Linn.

 

And if you won't answer such a complex question...what pizza toppings do you favour?

To be honest, none of the following are things that I really want to think about: you; piss; cheerios.
