Did you Remember the Attachment?

Have you ever sent an email and talk all about how the attached document proves the point you are trying to make or the attached photo is hilarious or the attachment has all the details and then forget to attach the attachment?  Today's idea is a suggestion to any company that makes email software.  Write the code so the program does a quick scan of your email, if the word attachment show up anywhere in the body or subject of the email the program looks to make sure there is an attachment with the email.  If there isn't it would politely ask "I see you have the word 'attachment' in your email but have not attached a document.  Do you want to continue?"  It would be pretty easy to add, I think, and you could have the option of turning it off if it got too complicated.  I would definitely use it.

Question:
Have you ever not attached a doc to your email?  And was it that big a deal?
