Email with no Subject?

[Victor]

Is there a way for Outlook XP to issue a warning if I try to send an email with no
subject?

Even a plug-in or a macro would be great! ANYTHING!!!

Thank you,

Victor

Write code for the Application_ItemSend event handler, e.g.:

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

And see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm if you're just getting started with Outlook VBA.

That worked!

With Outlook 2002, I figured out how to create a self-signed certificate and assigned it
to the macro, so my your routine will always run with my macro security setting is still
set to High.

Thanks, Sue!
