    I did that mistake sometimes…But I don’t understand how Gmail detect that there should be attachment in the mail ? It checks our wording? If so, what if we don’t write in English…

    hi, id just like to say that this feature is not as fantastic as i thought it was.
    while trying to show my partner how great gmail is with its new wizzbang attachment finder i deliberately forgot to attach my cv to a job application email.
    to my horror it did not pick it up, so now i look like an idiot.

    dont trust it.

    all my faith in the world is gone.

    ps it worked later when i didnt need it to.
