An example of inadequate answers to a clear question

[andrew a]

I do not intend to be rude Diane, but the most stupid thing is to answer a question "how to . . . " with "why do You want to do it?" or "You should not do it, I hate my daughter doing it!".
Those who request an empty subject prompt should be able to activate it, those who do not need this feature because it is not useful for them, only annoying, should be allowed to disable this feature without making an excuse.
Can someone be helpful and advise how to disable this newly introduced feature in MS Outlook 2010 instead of exhorting the opposite?

How can you disable the warning you get when you send out emails wih no
subject in Outlook 2010?

While this warning may be a usfeul feature for some, espcally in business
scenarios, it is extremely annoying for others.

It cannot be disabled.

Correct, its a new feature in Outlook 2010 - it was a frequently
requested feature in previous version but was never added to them.
While no subject might increase the spam confidence level a little, its
not why it was added - many users asked for it. Some people might
filter on no subject, figuring its spam, but its no guarantee either
way.

it is good netiquette to include a subject, even if its just FYI... i
either use that or paste the URL in the subject and the body. I am
actually annoyed when people (like my daughter) do not use subjects. She
could at least put 'hey mom' in the subject... then conversation view
would group all her messages together, not mixed with all the other no
subject messages.

Andrew, I can't agree more. I am doing a search for HOW to do this, and honestly, don't care to be lectured on etiquette of my emails. Either tell me how to do it, or don't bother replying to a question on how to disable it.

There are times when I'm asked to just send a file over or test the mail server. It's quite unnecessary to add a subject line to every piece of email that leave my Outlook.

Please, if someone knows HOW to do this, share it with those that are looking for that answer.

THANK YOU.
