Require Subjects on All Emails

[Rho]

Is there any way to require that emails have a subject? Even a reminder that
the email is missing a subject would go a long way.

Thanks,

Rhoda

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)
Dim strMsg As String
Dim res As Long
If Item.Subject = "" Then
Cancel = True
strMsg = "Please fill in the subject before sending."
MsgBox strMsg, _
vbExclamation + vbSystemModal, "Missing Subject"
Item.Display
End If
End Sub

For a more elaborate version that also checks for expected attachments, see http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=553
