Configure Outlook to make sure that mail have subject

If you send a mail with out proper subject name causes lot of problems. It may not get proper attention.
It may not get proper importance etc.. But in our day to day life we may forget to include some headings for our mail. We can configure our outlook for alerting, if we try to send a mail with out subject


1. Open your Outlook,
2. Press Alt+F11. This opens the Visual Basic Editor and open Project-Project 1 (left side). If this doesn’t open Project-Project 1 then Press Ctrl+R.
3. On the Left Pane, one can see "Microsoft Outlook Objects" or "Project1", expand this. Now one can see the "ThisOutLookSession".
4. Double click on "ThisOutLookSession". It will open up a Code Pane on the right hand side.
5. Copy and Paste the following code in the right pane (Code Pane) and save it

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

6. After pasting click on file menu and the save the project1.
7. Now whenever you try to send a mail without subject, a pop-up will be raised to remind you of the blank subject.
