💖 NAME 💖

claws-mail-attach-warner — the lil warning bestie that saves u from sending "pls find attached" with absolutely nothing attached, no cap 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so this manual page is a quick rundown of the claws-mail-attach-warner package, bestie. short and sweet, iykyk 💅

ngl this manpage was written specifically for the Debian™ distribution, and the reason is lowkey iconic: the original program doesn't even have a manual page. so we made one. ur welcome 🎀

claws-mail-attach-warner is a plugin — a loadable module — for the Claws Mail mailer 🌸

its whole vibe? preventing u from forgetting ur attachments 😭. the way it works is: if some attachment gets mentioned in the mail text but no actual file is attached to the composed mail, it warns u before u hit send. main character energy fr fr 👑

the mentions are found by simple regex matching, although some care is taken so it doesn't go off on false positives (she's dramatic but she's not wrong 💀). and in the plugin configuration panel u can define the exact expressions or words to be looked for in the message text. ur rules, ur regex, ur moment ✨

🌈 USAGE 🌈

before u can use a plugin u gotta tell Claws Mail to load it on startup, periodt.

here's the whole ritual 🧚:

  1. go to the “Configuration” menu on the main window toolbar
  2. open the “Plugins...” dialog
  3. click the “Load plugin...” button
  4. select the plugin file, named attachwarner.so
  5. press the “Open” button

and that's it, slay 💅✨
