are there any possibilities to create rules for public key attaching?
Currently, I send always my public key to everyone, even if I sent it
already 2000 times to a specific person.

Why not just put your key number in your signature and let them get it
from a keyserver if they want it?

  * some people don't want their keys on the keyservers unless they've
    been revoked.

  * not everyone has access to a keyserver (i've recently recieved mail
    from someone asking for my key by mail because at work they can't get
    through to the keyservers)

  * some people fetch their mail, disconnect, and read and respond to it
    while offline, so having the local key is handy.

Those are all reasons for the correspondents to arrange key exchange between themselves. None of them are excuses for the misguided "attach my key to every message" option.
