empty subject line warning - outlook xp

[Thomas Houseman]

How do I enable the feature that warns me if I try to send an email message
without a subject line? Does such a feature exist?

There is no such feature, but you can build it in with a little VBA code:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend _
(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
If Item.Subject = "" Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Please fill in the subject before sending.", _
vbExclamation, "Missing Subject"
End If
End Sub
