Well, read this thread again.  I was making the point that since RFC 2822
does not require a message to have a subject, Balsa should not force the
message to have one.  However, it is often the case that the subject is
omitted accidentally, so the check should be made.  I take the "Leave Empty"
option to mean no Subject: header.
