Attach-Compose-Address

April 21, 2007

This little trick will help me on a daily basis...since I fail to attach things about 63% of the time. And the less I look like a complete buffoon, the better.

If you are sending an email with an attachment, add the attachment first, then compose the message, and then add email addresses tothe send line. Now there's no chance you'll have to send the ever-popular "whoops, forgot to attach the file" follow-up.

In fact, it's a good practice to always put the email addresses of the recipients in last, to ensure that an errant carriage return or mouseclick won't fire off the message half-baked.

From Tricks of the Trade, by way of the [non]billable hour.
