If you’ve ever sent an e-mail, only to realize you forgot to include the attachment, Gmail now has you covered with one of its new Google Lab applications.

When you mention, somewhere in the body of the e-mail, that you’re including an attachment - and you try to send the e-mail without an attachment - a small window pops up.

“It seems that you might have forgotten to attach files. Send this message without attachments?”

Click “cancel,” and you can add the forgotten attachment.

To set up this application, click on “Settings” and then on “Labs.” Scroll down until you see “Forgotten Attachment Detector.” Click “enable,” and you’re good to go!
