forgetting to fill subject when sending emails

[Guest]

Dear MS

If the 'Subject field is left blank when sending emails can a prompt be
raised to let me know I've omiited to fill this field. Would prevent sending
of 'unprofessional looking emails. Thanks

Kevin

You can build that feature with a little VBA code:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend _
(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strMsg As String
Dim res As Long
If Item.Subject = "" Then
Cancel = True
strMsg = "Please fill in the subject before sending."
MsgBox strMsg, _
vbExclamation + vbSystemModal, "Missing Subject"
Item.Display
End If
End Sub
