Default subject in outlook

Are there any simple solutions/settings to ensure that users are either
forced or reminded to provide a subject when composing and sending
emails? Clients are Outlook 2000 or better in an Exchange 2003
environment.

The Subject header is optional per RFC 2822. It may appear a minimum of
zero times or a maximum of one time. While a particular e-mail client
may provide a "help" feature of catching a blank Subject, it really
should not prevent the absence of the header since it is an optional
header.

I believe Sue Mosher already answered this for another user and the
solution was to use VBA to write a macro to alter the behavior of
Outlook (a Google Groups search would probably find her post). She and
other Outlook wizards are found over at http://www.outlook-code.com/ and
probably give you example code that will popup a dialog window when the
user clicks Send and the Subject header is missing or has a null string
value.
