Anti-Oops!
Anti-Oops! technology
Hit the Send button too soon? Now you’ll never have to say “Oops!” again! Anti-Oops! technology vets your emails to ensure you didn’t forget to carefully review them and to add all the attachments you meant to include. It even flags parts of your message that risk being ill received by the recipient.
- Anti-Oops! works with the most popular email clients.
- Remember: Anti-Oops! checks messages written in English (and in French if you’ve purchased the French Module); for those written in another language, you’re on your own!
- You can configure Anti-Oops! settings to specify what it should or should not detect. See the Anti-Oops! Panel section of the Settings chapter.
- If you don’t want Anti-Oops! to check a message, hold down the shift ⇧ key when you click Send.
Checking for attachments
When you click Send, Anti-Oops! checks that you haven’t forgotten to include an attachment. If there is no file attached, Anti-Oops! has Antidote analyze your message. If it finds that an attachment is mentioned, Anti-Oops! alerts you by opening a window directly in your email program. You can then stop sending the message and attach the missing file, or go ahead and send it without the attachment.
Anti-Oops! will show you the part of your message that suggests you may have forgotten an attachment. In the example on this page, the clue is “the registration form attached”.
- If the phrase that triggers an alert is a sentence automatically added by your email program, or you don’t think it needs to be corrected, you can tell Antidote to ignore it in the future.
The corrector is ready
Anti-Oops! links your email program to Antidote. When you click Send, it springs into action and makes sure you haven’t forgotten to have Antidote check your message. If necessary, it automatically launches the corrector. Once you’ve corrected your message, just click Antidote’s icon or Send in your email client.
