An "Attachment Reminder"-like feature that could be customized to trigger on specific keywords or Regex

I would love an "Attachment Reminder"-like feature that could be customized to trigger on specific keywords or Regex in the Subject line or body of the message. For example, I often write email messages with "DRAFT: " prepending the Subject line, often bouncing revisions back and forth to my business partner (or just percolating with myself) and definitely want to be reminded to remove "DRAFT" before each sending, in case this vastest version will be going to a business Client.

Not our domain anymore

Sep 1, 2026

What exactly do you mean by “not our domain anymore”? Do you mean that features like the Attachment Reminder are no longer part of Mailbutler’s product focus, or that this is something that can no longer be implemented technically in Apple Mail?

It's actually both 😕

Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense, although it’s a bit sad to hear. One more question, just out of curiosity: Is Mailbutler still actively being developed with new features, or is the focus now mainly on maintaining the existing product and adapting it to changes in Apple Mail?

This feature was already implemented in Mailbutler. Now I noticed that it was taken out. In the past it was possible to define words that are used as triggers for reminders of an attachment. I was able to find entries here that the reminder annoyed users because they had for example the word "attachment" in their signature. I think it would be easy to bring the feature back and give users the option to use it or not. To the developer: You're doing a great job, but please roll back in that case ;-)
