Now that I think about it, what possible reason does Evolution have to
accept a message for sending if the subject is not there?

"Send" should be disabled until the message is ready for sending, and
unless it has a subject line, I wouldn't consider it ready. The fact
that it's the subject that is missing can be hinted visually (with
accessibility options in mind of course).

It's available even if I don't change anything. Of course it complains
that it doesn't know where to send it, but that's already too late,
the user was finished with the message and now has to mentally go back
to it because he was allowed to try to send it anyway.

Right?
