Can Outlook warn me before I send an email without an attachment?

Dear Experts,

A disconcerting proportion of the time, I intend to send a message with an attachment, and yet I forget to actually
attach the file.  Much embarassment ensues :)

Is there a way to make Outlook do the following after I click the send button but before it actually gets sent:

1) Search for the string "attach" in the body of the message
2) If it finds that string, check to see that there is >0 attachments associated with the message
3) If there are zero attachments, warn me, and give the opportunity to stop the send

Can this be done?

Regards,

Patrick
