It happens all the time. You compose a lengthy e-mail about an ongoing project, hit send… and get this reply: “I didn’t get the attachment.”
Annoying on both ends.
If you’re using Gmail, there’s a Google Lab application that will “remind” you to attach the file . But that pop-up, in itself, can be annoying. So get in the habit of doing this: Attach the file first – before you type in the recipient’s e-mail address, the subject line, or anything in the body of the message.
