Did this never happen to you? If not, then it will. -There is a hook out there that checks the content of the email for -keywords and warns you before the email is sent out if there's no -attachment. This is currently work in progress, but you can already -add the hook to your `~/.emacs.d/notmuch-config.el` file to test -it. Details available (and feedback welcome) in the [relevant -discussion](https://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2018/026414.html). +Since version 0.29 Notmuch includes the `notmuch-mua-attachment-check` +function. This function checks whether a message references an +attachment and if it finds none it asks for confirmation before +sending the message. The function is meant to be added to the +`message-send-hook`, like so: + + (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'notmuch-mua-attachment-check) + +The "customize"able variable `notmuch-mua-attachment-regexp` controls +how reference to an attachment are identified.
