I want to be reminded of an empty subject line before sending my emails using
Outlook 2003. How do I turn On the Empty Subject Line reminder for Outlook
2003?

There is no such option but you can use this VBA code;

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
If TypeName(Item) <> "MailItem" Then Exit Sub

'CHECK FOR BLANK SUBJECT LINE
If Item.Subject = "" Then
Cancel = MsgBox("This message does not have a subject." & vbNewLine & _
"Do you wish to continue sending anyway?", _
vbYesNo + vbExclamation, "No Subject") = vbNo
End If
End Sub

Roady, Thank you for your help. I am not that familiar with Outlook and not
sure where I would place this code and how I would do it. Can you please help
me with that?
Thank you

OK, so it works. I tried pasting the code into the session and it does remind
that your email doesn't have a subject line. Here is what I am running into,
when I click send, the email just sort of freezes and doesn't do anything.
The reminder is not popping up on the email window, it pops up on the mail
Outlook Window. Is there a way to make it pop up in front of the email
window, like all other reminders do. They pop up mostly over your active
screen or atleast make a noise and start to blink in the bottom tray.
Your help is much appreciated.
