This is not a new feature to Outlook 2010. It exists for all versions
of Outlook. Outlook was designed as a business-class or corporate
e-mail client, not specifically for personal/home use.

You should never be sending e-mails with blank Subject headers. Many
anti-spam and user-defined filters will discard e-mails with blank
subjects. It is fairly easy to define a rule to discard any e-mails
with a blank subject. If you have the time to compose the e-mail body
then you have the time to introduce your e-mail with a subject. Just
why would I bother reading your e-mails that you are too lazy to add a
subject for it? This is not a pro-spamming newsgroup to get help on how
to con recipients into opening your e-mails because you chose to *hide*
the content of your message by not showing a subject. In around 19 out
of 20 e-mails with blank subjects, they were spam. So expect your blank
subject e-mails to get treated as spam.

I've just upgraded to Outlook 2010 and have the same issue. For info,
*never* had this issue in Outlook 2007, 2003, 2002, 2000, 97 or 95.

I totally disagree. The overwhelming majority of junk mails in our spa
filter (and there are a LOT of them) have subjects, even if they ar
nonsensical. Simply blocking a mail because it has no subject line is
pretty crude way of trying to stop spam.

Also, I can't speak for the OP, but in my case I frequently send quic
internal emails with no subject, for example to forward a URL or file t
a colleague or friend who is expecting the email and thus doesn't nee
the email to have an "introduction". To make it impossible to disabl
the subject warning in Outlook 2010 seems pretty stupid IMO

Also, your inference that the OP wants to disable this feature as
pro-spamming measure is extremely patronising. Just because some peopl
work in a different way to you doesn't make them lazy or spammers

Correct, its a new feature in Outlook 2010 - it was a frequentl
requested feature in previous version but was never added to them.
While no subject might increase the spam confidence level a little, it
not why it was added - many users asked for it. Some people migh
filter on no subject, figuring its spam, but its no guarantee eithe
way.

It's good netiquette to include a subject, even if its just FYI...
either use that or paste the URL in the subject and the body. I'
actually annoyed when people (like my daughter) don't use subjects. Sh
could at least put 'hey mom' in the subject... then conversation vie
would group all her messages together, not mixed with all the other n
subject messages

I do not intend to be rude Diane, but the most stupid thing is to answer a question "how to . . . " with "why do You want to do it?" or "You should not do it, I hate my daughter doing it!".
Those who request an empty subject prompt should be able to activate it, those who do not need this feature because it is not useful for them, only annoying, should be allowed to disable this feature without making an excuse.
Can someone be helpful and advise how to disable this newly introduced feature in MS Outlook 2010 instead of exhorting the opposite?

It cannot be disabled.

Andrew, I can't agree more. I am doing a search for HOW to do this, and honestly, don't care to be lectured on etiquette of my emails. Either tell me how to do it, or don't bother replying to a question on how to disable it.

There are times when I'm asked to just send a file over or test the mail server. It's quite unnecessary to add a subject line to every piece of email that leave my Outlook.

Please, if someone knows HOW to do this, share it with those that are looking for that answer.

THANK YOU.
