MSOutlook Attachments

[Guest]

Why not add functionality to MSOutlook where if the word "attachment" or
"attach" is in the message body and no attachment has been attached, a
message is generated to the user to check if they want to include an
attachment...

There are a lot of add-ins out there that can do this for you (I know the
voting for this is for native support in Outlook). You can also do this by
using some VBA. To help you on your way;

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strBody As String
Dim lngres As Long

strSubject = Item.Body
If InStr(1, Item.Body, "attach") <> 0 Then
If Item.Attachments.Count = 0 Then
lngres = MsgBox("'Attach' in body, but no attachment - send
anyway?", _
vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2 + vbQuestion,
"Send?")
If lngres = vbNo Then Cancel = True
End If
End If

End Sub
