Hm, play it safe or play aggressively... That is the question...

The move I was thinking about was 6 h4, the Alekhine-Chatard attack. Have not played it much, though, so I better stay with the classical variation!

I would have been glad to face the Chatard attack. It would have been the occasion to learn some moves about that mysterious gambit. Nobody ever played it against me. It is quite true, though, that I didn’t play that many French games in my life. Anyway, I thought when I was young and studied openings a little that the Chatard was not 100% correct. Does any GM play it ? It could be a sign ...

To be honest, I don't know. I played actively for many years, but stopped (or rather, in light of current events here at Apolyton, paused!
) ten or eleven years ago, so I'm not up to date at all regarding the chess world. However, I did read somewhere that it was fashionable again, I guess that means some well known players use it?

Hm... Maybe I should have played it after all?

Sorry, like an idiot, I forgot to write the last line.
I didn’t want to edit my message.
Seems unfair in a postal chess game.

Yes, you should have played it. I’m too lazy to prepare anything and it would have given me the opportunity to work on the gambit. But your choice is not a bad one.
