checking the "subject" field

[Guest]

Can Outlook be set up to autocheck the "subject" lin in a newly created email when you clikc the "send/receive" button? That way, a warning would be displayed in case you accidently tried to send an email without typing in a subject.

Oulook Exress does this but I just cut over to Oulook and can 't find a way to make this happen.

Thanks in advance for the advice,

arawak

Outlook has no such built-in feature, but it's relatively trivial to do with
VBA code. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=126 for sample
code. If you're new to Outlook VBA macros, these web pages should help you
get started:
