You can setup Outlook to prompt you to enter a subject before sending an email message. The steps are simple and can be completed in only a few minutes. Follow these simple steps to create the reminder:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook.
2. Press Alt+F11. This will open a Microsoft Visual Basic Window. In the left hand panel, you will see a folder called ‘Project1’. Expand the folder by clicking on the plus sign.
3. After expanding the Project1 folder, you will see a folder called "Microsoft Outlook Objects", expand this folder by clicking on the plus sign.
4. Now you will see "ThisOutLookSession". Double click on "ThisOutLookSession" and the code editor window will open.
5. Copy and paste the following code in the code editor window.

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. Select ‘File’ and then ‘Save’, and close the Microsoft Visual Basic Window to return to Microsoft Outlook. Now, if you try to send an email without a subject, you will get a prompt reminding you to enter a subject.

To remove the reminder, from Microsoft Outlook, press Alt+F11. In the code editor, select and delete the code you entered for “ThisOutlookSession”. Select ‘File’ and ‘Save’, and close the Microsoft Visual Basic Window.

How do I know it was from blogrolling.com? Well, I use Sneakemail disposable email addresses for all my web-based accounts, and this particular address is the only one that has received SPAM.

It’s possible that there’s been another breach at blogrolling.com, but who knows? Suffice to say, I’ve updated my account and changed the email address (and password while I was at it), so even if it was compromised I won’t have to deal with any more SPAM.
