Look at
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/trunk/plugins/attachment-reminder/ 

which is a plugin that makes use of a pre-send hook.

You can try creating a filter which will pipe message to a script that
you have written. However, I guess we should have a special column which
will remove anything within []
