The latest version of mail is now interposing unnecessary reminder pop-up box messages that need to be answered when the send button is pressed, in order to complete dispatch of a message. Is there a way to deactivate this unnecessary reminders that we now need to contend with?

As I mentioned, I’m not using Ventura so don’t see this myself, but the point isn’t only that there’s no way to turn it off if you wanted to, but that in Apple’s implementation of it in Mail, it appears to be overly aggressive and offers no way to adjust it for either missing attachment or missing recipient reminders.

Hi sunnibakchat,
Since noticing this has the Mail app been closed out and the Mac restarted? Performing these steps can help when experiencing unexpected behaviors on your devices.

To restart your Mac

Once steps are performed, test to see if this continues to occur.
Take Care!
Hello Chris,
yes, the “Send” button is being pressed.
The two most common pop-up messages are “missing recipients” and another to do with the recipient not having a digital certificate to unable encryption.
If you work for Apple, and these pop-up messages cannot be disabled, some logical insight as to why these features, which appear to be completely non-essential (and inefficiency gaining) have been interposed between the completion and dispatch of an e-mail?
It states in your own product manual these messages are programmed to appear!!!
Many thanks.
Remjinder also appears where recipient does not have digital certificate.
Nanny Nudge stuff! Please revert to assumption of personal responsibility please Apple!!!!
My belief is Apple isn't marketing to people that would like to assume personal responsibility, but to the opposite.
Unnecessary reminder pop-up boxes when sending e-mail.
