Outlook - keep forgetting attachments

Hi All,
If I had a coin for the amount of times I have specified 'you'll find it in the attached' and then not attached the thing, I'd be a rich man.

At one place I worked, I set up an Outlook rule with a custom action on send to scan the body for the word 'attach' and pop up a message box saying 'no attachement found' continue yes/no. Outlook no longer seems to come with any custom actions so I am not able to do this anymore.

There are a number of products in the market place to do this, but it's such a simple thing that I'd rather investigate a free solution.

I have a piece of VB that does exactly what I want, but everytime I fire up Outlook, it recognises that I have a macro and asks me whether I want to enable/disable, which is fine for me, but I want to give this to other users who might be spooked by such a message.

My question therefore is threeofold:
1) Does anybody know of a free add-in that checks the body and pops up a msgbox?
2) Does anybody know of a free custom action that pops up a configurable message box
3) Does anybody know of a way to stop the enable/disable for this specific macro (can I 'sign' it in some way to stop it happening)

Thanks in advance,

Marc
