on blank subject alert on send (2003)

J

So, today I sent my 4th email without a subject to the entire company.

Before I began using Outlook 2003 I never sent emails with blank
subject lines. Not that I wouldn't have, but every other email client
I've used had given me an alert when I forgot to enter a subject.

So why doesn't Outlook 2003?

Am I supposed to pick and click my way through the Rules and Alerts
menus? Um, I have only one thing to say about that feature: M$
appearently has too much money. If this is where I need to configure a
blank subject alert then I guess I need a PhD - wouldn't a simple
checkbox be easier?

I've also tried using the vb script below (with and without the
"Listing 1" line), which is supposed to work in Outlook 2000-2002.

Listing 1: Watching for Outgoing Items with Blank Subject Lines

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

Please Help!
