E-mail client feature suggestions
We all use e-mail all the time. Here are two features that I think would go a long way toward making e-mail better (particularly the first suggestion):
When a user clicks "send", the e-mail program should scan the outgoing message for the words "attached", "attachment", and all other varieties of "attach" and- if there are no attachments actually included in the message- prompt the user to attach a file if they'd like. This would eliminate one of the most embarrassing e-mail gaffes- the message that claims to have an attachment but contains none.
On computers that have built-in or attached microphones, there should be a "record message" button in message windows that, when pressed, allows the user to dictate a voice message. When the user's finished recording, the program automatically attaches the recording to the outgoing message as an .mp3 file. This would be perfect for those occasions when you want to send someone an e-mail that's a bit too wordy to type out, but you don't want to call them.
