I think Michael Duelli's idea is good. It happends to me too that I forget
to
attach files that I mentioned in my letter. Mostly that happends when I
have
to find them on my harddrive or rename them, or compress them, or for
example 
I tell I person: "I send you some photos I took at that party/vacation" and

then I have to select which photos to attach and give them good describning

names. And most of the time I havn't done that when I start to write a
mail,
then it would be nice if there was a "attachment reminder box" under "CC:"
or
something like that that I can check in when I write the letter and if I
press "Send" balsa asks me if I attached all files. 
Like this:

To :     [bestfriend@friendswork.com     ]
Subject: [Holiday photos                 ]
CC:      [                               ]
Attachment reminder: [X]
