Gmail – How to Teach Gmail to Warn About Empty Subject Lines

gmail

Gmail sends your email without any notification when the subject is empty. I read that in the past this was a feature. It's really annoying to send a work email message without a subject.

So has anyone a solution like a browser add-on or a script that prevents you to send an email without noticing that the subject is empty?

I'm afraid that no, with the standard Gmail client, there's no way to get it to warn you when the subject is empty. There also doesn't appear to be any Chrome extensions which fill this niche, either.

What's frustrating is that Gmail used to have this feature, but seems to have removed it circa 2012.

Your best bet would be to use Gmail's "Undo Send" feature in case you do happen to send a message without a subject, but that does depend on you noticing in no more than 30 seconds.
