I write the words, "attached to this email" to make sure I don't accidentally attach anything. Many email clients confirm you have no attachments if you write that. Useful little trick!
Maybe it's a localization issue, but I've not seen this yet using Thunderbird. I should look into this, there is a word I always use that's clearly expecting an attachment.
Thunderbird does have this, but yes, I think the default list of watched words is just in English (or maybe dependant on install language?). Anyway, you can add custom words in the settings; always end up doing that myself.
"Dear gandalf, we'd like to process your request from your previous email, but unfortunately the attachment seems to be a picture of a wild bear eating a goat's ass instead of formula 701 with full data and signature.
This incident will now be reported to the authorities sothat it is ensured that you will never have a normal job again, will be profusely looked down upon by everyone you know, and will never have a social relationship again.

Can't accidentally send an improper attachment if you forget to send an attachment.

I love how Thunderbird gives you a reminder to attach a file if you use the word "attachment" or something similar in the email
