Tonight I was cranking away on an email, extremely focused on making it sound as professional as possible. I was re-reading sentences, moving words around. When I was finally happy with what I had on the page, I hit send. What I forgot to do was attach the file I was writing about – oops. What this usually means is that I have to send a very unprofessional follow-up email saying “and here is the attachment” or something of that sort.

But tonight that didn’t happen. Tonight Evolution, the default mail client in Ubuntu 10.04, was looking out for me.

It had a pretty good idea of what I was doing and prevented me from having to send that very silly follow up email. I am a big fan of software that has my back. Congratulations, Evolution – you just moved up in my book.
