Rules to prevent sending emails with no subject

[Guest]

Can I set a rule, or is there a setting, that will prompt me when I have
forgotten to enter a subject, before I send my email?

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

For a more elaborate version that also checks for expected attachments, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=553

You can use VBA code to add this.
