An e-mail feature I wish Outlook had

Perhaps another program has it. If so I'll probably switch.

What I want is an 4th box when I send an e-mail. I want the following boxes:

To:

CC:

BCC:

AF:


The AF: box would be for "attachment free". That way a copy of the e-mail gets sent to anybody in that box with all attachments stripped. I am always having to copy different people when I send drawings electronically, but the only thing they need to see is that the file was sent, not the actual attachment. Even better would be a line attached to the e-mail that listed the files attached how big they were, and the date they were created. A simple feature like this would keep the E-mail bloat in check when I get copied on e-mails of which I also don't need to see the attachment, just that it got sent.

Anybody else miss this nonexistant feature?
