That would be so cool as to be deep-frozen!
However, it can be configured to use *any* keywords you like. I use
"attach" and "include" to cover "attached", "Attachment" etc and "include"
and "included". You could limit it to checking for the word "attachment"
or "attached" only in which case it would still have triggered for my
message above but would give fewer false alarms otherwise. I haven't
tried configuring with phrases (eg. "I've attached" or "I'm sending" etc)
and I'm not sure what the result would be but I kinda think it will work.
Incidentally, I'm always surprised when it *does* trigger so there are very
few false alarms anyhow.
