Guide Review - Attachment Scanner Plugin for Mail 0.9.7 - Mac OS X Mail Add-On
If Attachment Scanner Plugin finds certain keywords — "attachment", "attached", and "attaching" — in a message after you have clicked Send but no attached files to go with these promising words, you get another chance to include the files mentioned. The alert only lets you cancel the sending operation, not attach and send immediately, but that's a minor concern, especially given Attachment Scanner Plugin's smart handling of different languages.
Not only does Attachment Scanner Plugin understand your references to attached files in a number of languages, it will also try to adapt its keywords to the language you used for spell checking.
Of course, it might still be nice if the list of words could be edited outside the Attachment Scanner Plugin source — or if the recognition of file references could be made smarter still and include expressions that do not encompass "attach", for example.
