I would allow "(NO SUBJECT)" as a third option instead of just y/n.
It's fairly standard.
A common approach is to make the subject "blah blah <EOM>" which means
there's no body. So if there's a single line in the body and no
subject, we could move it into the subject using this convention.
So, with a 1-line body:
are you sure you want to send without a subject? y/n/(m)ove body to subject/(N)o but make me sound intelligent with (NO SUBJECT)
and with a multi-line body:
are you sure you want to send without a subject? y/n/(N)o but make me sound intelligent with (NO SUBJECT)
