Alert when I attempt to send email without a subject line

[Guest]

Is there a way to set up an alert when I attempt to send mail, but I have
forgotten to put in a subject line?

See slipstick.com - I think I saw something there.

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
