Today one of my friend noted a really unnoticed yet creative behavior of GMail. He tried to send an email with body containing “please find attached ….” and he clicked send, GMail instead of sending that email popped-up a message
Did you mean to attach files? You wrote “find attached” in your message, but there are no files attached. Send anyway?
This alerted him that he missed on attaching the files.
Isn’t that really smart and creative thinking! Though a minute thing, but such small things of intelligence makes GMail (Google) an innovator at email services.
Cheers Google!
Anyhow, this creative stuff doesn’t work if body contains “PFA”
PFA is acronym for Please find attached …
Actually, it was invented in 1998 and patented issued in 2000. The rest of the world, and Gmail is catching up. BTW, in my invention, the keywords and phrase are configurable, so PFA could be added.
Thanks Mike, glad to see the inventor here! Is that your patent/invention or you just prepared a custom version of same?
