subject warning

[Guest]

I have windows xp, using microsoft outlook.
I want a warning to come up asking me if I want to send the message without
a subject. I keep forgetting to put in a subject and my boss hates that.

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
