Missing Attachment Reminder

You can configure astroid to remind you of missing attachments if certain keywords are present in a message.

Defining keywords

The keywords astroid searches for can be defined in the normal config file with the editor.attachment_words value. By default, its value is attach. This gives a warning before sending a message that includes this string and doesn't have something attached. Using the value attach, you can also catch words like "attached", "attachment" or "attaching". The value is case-insensitive.

To define other words, you can add further strings separated by commas. For instance, depending on the language, users can use these settings:

French (fr)

    "editor": {
        "attachment_words": "attach,pj,pièce jointe, pièce-jointe, pièces-jointes,ci-joint",
        [...]
    },

German (de)

    "editor": {
        "attachment_words": "attach,anbei,anhang,angehängt",
        [...]
    },

Caveats

• Please note that using anbei as attachment_words would also warn you if you used the word anbeißen in a message.
• Note that the attachment words are also considered in the whole message's body. This also causes warnings if a trigger word appeared in a quoted part of the message.
