I've accidentally sent a couple of messages this way, and I think Emacs converted the subject line to "(unknown)" for me, but I'm not sure. At any rate, I want Emacs to not send the message if the subject line is empty, but to prompt me to enter the missing subject. I've already checked the FAQ, the Customization menu, "Learning GNU Emacs" and searched the Google archives for this issue, but I can't seem to find the answer. Any help would be appreciated. -- Eric Pement
