When sending an email from Outlook 2003 can an option or rule be set to check
for a blank subject line and bring up an 'are you sure?' type message when
you click on Send?

You can buy this cheap software to solve your problem:

As far as I know, there isn't a way.

Use the VBA-Code below:

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

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
