Today Google Labs came up with pretty decent feature for Gmail that lets you move the attachments column showing the different icons for each attachment to far left. This makes more sense because now its much more visible and easy to identify emails with attachments.

Such small enhancements from time to time make Gmail better and better. You can enable the ‘Move Icon Column’ feature in some simple steps.

1) Login to your Gmail account. Click the Google Labs icon located top tight.

2) From the list, ‘Enable’ the ‘Move Icon Column’ feature and click ‘Save settings…’ button at the end of the page.

Now your attachments column will be located to the left hand side where its much more noticeable.
