Get in the habit of composing your emails in a specific order. My preference is:

Write the title, upload attachments, write the body, choose the recipient(s).

Doing the recipients last in particular gives you that extra few seconds to consider all the other elements so you can realize and correct any mistakes before hitting send. I used to do shit like send w/o attachments or send to the wrong/not all of the intended recipients all the time, but following the same order has basically idiot-proofed it against myself.

10/10, do recommend.

Thunderbird warns you if you use certain words that hint at attachments, but don’t attach anything. Awesome feature, has saved me multiple times.

Ive personally set a rule to ALL emails that i send where they wait 1 minute before they get sent. That way if i remember just after i hit sent that i forgot somethinglike attachments, i can edit it before it actually sends.

That one loose critical engine bolt which represents that one critical line in my email that says "love you" to my random business contact.

This is the one thing that Microsoft did that was probably good, and I never used because I was always so arrogant that I would think to myself.. "I'm not going to forget attachments" and then poof... That fuckers gone and you're looking for the recall button you never enabled.

You had to enable it because basically all it did was delay the send of the email for x amount of time you set. Always had it off, regretted it about 3 times at work and each time I told myself... You'll never make that mistake again. And left it off

• Delivery driver arrives at my door.
• Package arrives and porch pirates thankfully didn't get it.
• Get home, and the sealed box is fucking empty.
