Outlook needs to prevent sending emails without a Subject.

It's really embarassing to send an email with no subject, especially a mass
email. I don't really see the value in sending emails without a subject
anyway. So outlook should prevent it.

Outlook 2010 will give you a reminder.

You can achieve this with some VBA as well;

=====START CODE=====
Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim strSubject As String
strSubject = Item.Subject
If Len(Trim(strSubject)) = 0 Then
Prompt$ = "Subject is Empty. Are you sure you want to send the Mail?"
If MsgBox(Prompt$, vbYesNo + vbQuestion + vbMsgBoxSetForeground, "Check
for Subject") = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub
===== END CODE=====

To get rid of macro security prompts, you can sign your code with SelfCert.
