[Banks PLK]

today i tried to send an emial with an attached file
in the mail i just typed "ATTACHED FILE"
N I forogot to attach the file
when i tried to send

It understands it because you have written the word 'attached file' in the text.

It doesn't understand what you have written. It just sees 'attached' and assumes that you have to attach a file. Nothing complicated.

This is a known feature. It was earlier a labs feature, but I guess they have included it in all accounts now.

Be thankful for it. I know that it has saved me from the embarrassment of sending an email without the attachment a couple of times.

nope its a feature in gmail
its there if u forget attacment

for eg u type pls check my attachment and u forget to attach the file and u hit the send button and then gmail will ask that

there was a article in google blog regarding this
