Hi at work I have opensuse 13.2 and noticed recently (maybe this has been so
for some time and I never noticed?) that KMail would not send a message with
an empty subject field.
If I try to send it, the cursor jumps to the Subject: box and until I write
something there, the message cannot be sent.
Is this normal? I do remember being able to send messages without a subject
(which would then appear as “No subject”, although I agree that it is not
great practice).
Now I do remember that there used to be a dialogue asking if you want to
specify a subject or send as is, maybe I set something inadvertently?
If so how is that reset?

Thank you for taking the time to answer, sadly the answer does not help in
resolving it.
Back to the issue, in the composer, with the current setting that is forcing
the Subject to be filled, if the subject happens to be ‘not shown’, (e.g.
when un-ticking View>Subject), emails cannot be sent and I think this would
be quite a difficult issue to resolve unless one knows exactly what is going
on.
It appears that this setting is not stored in in
~/.kde4/share/config/kmail2rc because if I delete this file and restart
kmail2 it still insists on filling the subject.
Most odd, at home I have Leap and it does not require the subject filling.
Thanks for any clues.

Just for the record, I found a solution to this query.
A setting (not a Kmail one, but a Kontact one) is stored in the
…kde4/share/config/kontactrc file under the section
