[Design] Outbound rules

Actually -- that's one of my favorite Outlook hacks.
When I press send, it searches the message for the word "attach", and if 
there aren't any attachments, it asks "Are you sure you didn't have anything 
to attach to this?"

Sure, it's a little redundant sometimes ("No, I won't sell that baseball 
card, I'm attached to it"), but it sure saves the D'Oh! factor when I'm 
sending out proposals, documentation, etc.

Another one I've been meaning to hack up is something that says, "Y'know, 
that Word file you've attached is only a few lines long.  Wouldn't it be 
better to send it as the body of the message, rather than making your 
recipients open an attachment?" and then force it on all the bozos who 
insist on sending their meeting agendas and trivial minutes as attachments.
