Validate attachments in Outlook
This may not seem like an exciting post but I just found a script I was going to write after another Homer Simpson Doh! moment. You know how it goes:
From: me
To: Someone important in the company
Subject: Reference our meeting
Message: Please find attached a copy of my notes from the meeting blah, blah, blah
Send. Oh no. Forgot to attach the files. Desperately yank behind the computer to remove the Ethernet cables. Glance at screen to notice the empty outbox. Arse.
Maybe I'm the only one who has
done that an annoying number of times but I was going to crank out some
VB to prompt me if the text contained the word attach but thought I'd
search first. I found Dan Evans' Script
and just installed it successfully. I basically followed method 2
on that page without the selfcert.exe step and it worked just
fine. Thanks Dan!
